<span style="font-weight: 400;">Allianz Africa sold its shares in five subsidiaries in Benin, Burkina Faso (Life/P&C), Mali and Togo to Sunu Group, effective April 29, 2019. These entities are now part of the SUNU Group and will change their name to become SUNU Assurance upon receipt of regulatory approvals for the name change. </span>

They will have no impact on policyholder contracts and ongoing partnerships. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">“</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">This move is in line with Allianz Africa’s strategy to gain market share on the continent with an increased presence in the fast-growing countries while maintaining the level of profitability expected by the Allianz Group. The SUNU Group is for us a partner of choice and a strong pan-African player who will pursue the efforts initiated by the Allianz Group in these four markets to deliver excellent customer service and products to our customers,” </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">said Coenraad Vrolijk, Regional CEO and Regional Executive Board Member of Allianz Africa. </span>
