This amount, combined with the proceeds from its two previously announced joint venture exits (Banca Cívica and Unnim Banc), brings the total realized by Aegon to EUR1bn.
Aegon said that this transaction with Banco Sabadell completes its restructuring of its business in Spain after announcing plans last year to exit certain partnerships as a result of the ongoing consolidation within the bank sector.

Aegon has recently reinforced its market position with an exclusive 25-year strategic partnership with Banco Santander to distribute life and general insurance products through its extensive network of over 4,600 bank branches.
According to Aegon, this long-term alliance with Spain’s financial group will provide access to a potential client base of 12m individuals across the country.
Aegon also said that it will continue to distribute its life insurance and protection products through its network of agents, as well as through the branch networks of Liberbank and Caja Badajoz, the company’s other two joint venture partners.
The transaction with Banco Sabadell is expected to close in the third quarter of 2013, subject to regulatory approval.
