Ageas divests its 30.95% stake in MAHB to Maybank for €1.1 billion
Belgian insurance group Ageas has concluded an agreement to divest its 30.95% stake in Maybank Ageas Holdings Berhad (MAHB) to its partner Maybank for €1.1 billion. The transaction, which will generate an estimated net gain of approximately €450 million after taxes, is expected to be finalized in 2026 subject to regulatory approval.
Ageas is divesting its stake in Maybank Ageas Holdings Berhad to Malayan Banking Berhad for a total amount of €1.1 billion. The agreement values the entire MAHB at €3.5 billion, which corresponds to a price-to-book ratio of approximately 2x IFRS equity for the 2025 financial year. This divestment marks the end of Ageas's participation in a joint venture that came into force in 2001 in the Malaysian market, expanded to Singapore in 2014 and operating under the Etiqa brand. In 2025, the joint venture generated a net operating profit of €64 million and paid €21 million to the Ageas group.
