Cigna’s Life and Accident and Health (A&H) Insurance Business in Asia-Pacific Markets

On July 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of the life and non-life insurance companies that house the personal accident, supplemental health, and life insurance business of Cigna in six Asia-Pacific markets. Chubb paid $5.36 billion in cash for the operations, which include Cigna's accident and health (A&H) and life business in Korea, Taiwan, New Zealand, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Indonesia. The reduction in the final purchase price from the original agreement reflects the impacts of rising interest rates and foreign exchange rates on acquired book value and other minor adjustments. This complementary strategic acquisition expands our presence and advances our long-term growth opportunity in the Asia-Pacific region. Effective July 1, 2022, the results of operations of this acquired business will be reported primarily in our Life Insurance segment and, to a lesser extent, our Overseas General Insurance segment.

Huatai Group

Chubb maintains a direct investment in Huatai Insurance Group Co., Ltd. (Huatai Group). Huatai Group is the parent company of, and owns 100 percent of, Huatai Property & Casualty Insurance Co., Ltd. (Huatai P&C), approximately 80 percent of Huatai Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (Huatai Life), and approximately 82 percent of Huatai Asset Management Co., Ltd. (collectively, Huatai). Huatai Group's insurance operations have more than 600 branches and approximately 19 million customers in China.

As of June 30, 2022, Chubb's aggregate ownership interest in Huatai Group was approximately 47.3 percent. Chubb applies the equity method of accounting to its investment in Huatai Group by recording its share of net income or loss in Other (income) expense in the Consolidated statements of operations.

During 2021, Chubb entered into agreements with several counterparties to purchase incremental ownership interests in Huatai Group totaling approximately 31.8 percent for approximately $2.2 billion. In connection with these agreements, Chubb paid approximately $1.1 billion in deposits. In January 2022, we paid $113 million relating to these agreements. Chubb entered into an agreement to acquire an approximate 7.1 percent ownership interest in Huatai Group for approximately $0.5 billion, which was paid as a deposit in 2020. The purchase of the additional ownership interests is contingent upon important conditions. As Chubb’s ownership interest increases, we will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of consolidation accounting in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, Consolidation, and other applicable regulations.
