Travel Guard, acquired by AIG in 2006, has been a leading provider of travel insurance and assistance services for decades, offering a comprehensive suite of products to travelers worldwide.
The strategic divestment marks a significant step for AIG as it continues to refine its global portfolio. The sale encompasses AIG’s travel insurance and assistance operations worldwide, excluding its businesses in Japan and India, as well as travel coverages offered under its Group Accident & Health business.
AIG was advised on the transaction by Evercore, with legal counsel provided by Willkie Farr & Gallagher and Norton Rose Fulbright. This divestiture allows AIG to further concentrate on its core insurance and reinsurance businesses.
The news follows on from the news that AIG has successfully completed the sale of a 21.6% equity stake in Corebridge Financial to Nippon Life Insurance. The transaction, valued at $3.8 billion, involved the sale of approximately 120 million shares at a price of $31.47 per share. The strategic move strengthens Nippon Life’s existing investment in Corebridge.
