Fanhua, a Chinese life and property and casualty insurance company, has signed a deal to acquire a majority stake in Wuhan Taiping Online Insurance Agency (Taiping).
Under the terms of the deal, Fanhua will buy 51% of the equity interests of Taiping in exchange for 455,357 American Depositary Shares.
In 2025, Taiping is anticipated to generate gross written premiums of no less than RMB160m and a net income of RMB10m.
The stock consideration is variable based on Taiping meeting specific performance goals over the following three years.
It is also subject to a lock-up period of three years and will be released from lock-up in two batches after 2025.
Fanhua chairman and CEO Yinan Hu said: “Taiping’s dedication to professionalism sits squarely with our development strategy. Chen Qin and his team are great additions to Fanhua and help enhance our capabilities to deliver professional services to our customers.
