保诚(02378.HK)公布,董事会已决定於今年第二季透过分拆,将美国业务Jackson Financial Inc.剥离,Jackson的股份将分派予保诚的股东,惟分拆须获得股东及监管机构批准方可作实,预期剥离後可加快转型,以专注发展高增长亚洲及非洲业务。

集团表示,分拆时将保留Jackson的19.9%非控股权益,其後会将该等权益套现用以支持於亚洲的投资,预期Jackson不会向保诚支付剥离前股息。Jackson将以「JXN」的股份代号於纽交所上市,由MetLife前行政总裁Steven A Kandarian担任董事会非执行主席,2月1日履新。

保诚又指,为赎回现有高票息债券以加快去杠杆化, 正在考虑於香港、伦敦或两地同时筹集约25 亿至30亿美元新股本,扩大於亚洲的投资者基础,提升财务灵活性。保诚计划将专注发展亚洲及非洲市场的业务,目标债务杠杆率於中期内达致约20%至25%。
