“The proposed acquisition aligns with Allianz’s strategic objective to grow inorganically in the non-life sector rather than the life insurance segment and to become a leader in its markets,” “I don’t think it’s a good idea to sell INCOME. It was founded to serve a social purpose and a social need. They remain valid today. I wish to argue that INCOME and Fairprice should never be sold.”the takeover bid, as well.
