Delta Lloyd Group was a Dutch insurer with operations in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. It consisted of Delta Lloyd, OHRA, ABN AMRO Verzekeringen and a few minor banks. The company was the sixth-largest insurer in the Netherlands, with a market share of approximately 8% before it was acquired by NN Group in 2017.

Up until the merger, Delta Lloyd was owned by the Dutch foundation Nuts OHRA (5%) and publicly traded (95%). Previously, it had been owned by Aviva. On 23 December 2016, competitor NN Group reached an agreement to acquire Delta Lloyd for 2.5 billion Euro.^[3]

History[]

The earliest predecessor of Delta Lloyd, the Hollandsche Societeit van Levensverzekeringen, was founded in 1807. In 1967, it merged with the Amsterdamsche Maatschappij van Levensverzekeringen and was renamed Delta. And in 1969, Delta merged with NedLloyd (not to be confused with the shipping company of the same name). In 1973, all shares in Delta were bought by the British firm Commercial Union (now part of Aviva). In 1999, Delta Lloyd merged with OHRA, the resulting company being renamed to Delta Lloyd Group in 2002. In 2016, Delta Lloyd discontinued as such after being acquired by NN Group.

Initial public offering[]

The Delta Lloyd Group officially went public on the NYSE Euronext Amsterdam on 3 November 2009.^[4] Delta Lloyd made 38–42% of its shares public, with its major shareholder Aviva reducing its ownership from 92% to 50–54%. Delta Lloyd's other previous shareholder, Nuts OHRA, retained its 8% stake. In July 2012 and January 2013, Aviva sold its stake, making the group 95% publicly traded.
