AXA hunts Asian truffle

Nov 10, 2009 (The Age - ABIX via COMTEX) -- By Eric Johnston

Company: AXA (AXA)

The takeover bid for AXA Asia Pacific by French financial services group, AXA Group, is motivated by the prospect of growth in Asia. AXA Asia Pacific rejected a $A7 billion offer from its parent in 2005. AXA has strengthened its position by making a joint bid with AMP worth nearly $A12 billion. AMP will then sell the Asian assets to AXA for $A7.7 billion. AXA Asia Pacific has rejected the offer, but a higher bid may be considered.
