Van Lanschot and Achmea agree sale of Staalbankiers' private banking activities
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
's-Hertogenbosch / Zeist, 9 August 2016,
Van Lanschot, Achmea and Staalbankiers today announced that they have reached
agreement on the acquisition by Van Lanschot of Staalbankiers' private banking
activities. Staalbankiers clients and employees will be advised of the takeover
today.
In addition to Staalbankiers' private banking client relationships, Van Lanschot
will acquire around ?1.7 billion in assets under management, around ?280 million
in savings and a limited number of securities based loans. Furthermore, a total
of 25 private bankers and investment experts of Staalbankiers will transfer to
Van Lanschot. The deal does not involve the other activities of Staalbankiers,
which include a portfolio of approximately ?250 million in mortgages and 35
employees.
Van Lanschot will pay an initial acquisition price of ?16 million for the
activities to be acquired. The final price may be higher or lower depending on
the AuM amount that will actually transfer to Van Lanschot. The transaction is
subject to a number of conditions, including declarations of no-objection issued
by De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) and the completion of the employee consultation
procedures involving the Van Lanschot and Achmea works councils.
Richard Bruens, Van Lanschot Executive Board member responsible for Private
Banking: "We're delighted with this acquisition, which enables us to expand our
assets under management and serve even more clients with our innovative concepts
for wealth planning, wealth management and advice. Staalbankiers enjoys strong
positions in its market segments. Its specialists support wealthy private
individuals, entrepreneurs, professionals and institutions such as charitable
organisations, which are a close fit with our client groups. Van Lanschot has
what it takes to help these clients to preserve and create wealth, and is very
happy to welcome them aboard."
Willem van Duin, Chairman of the Achmea Executive Board: "The sale ties in with
our strategy to focus on our insurance activities. Staalbankiers' private
banking activities are a logical and natural fit with Van Lanschot, where
private banking is a core activity. I'm confident we'll be able to offer our
clients a very smooth transition to a player with a broader product and service
offering. The employees transferring to Van Lanschot will join a specialist,
independent wealth manager offering plenty of opportunities for their
development."
Van Lanschot, Achmea and Staalbankiers expect to complete the transaction in the
fourth quarter of 2016, subject to the conditions outlined above.
