Resolution intends to provide further investment in e-commerce products and service, while promising the branding of the Scottish Provident range will remain unchanged.
Completion of the deal is expected to take place in September and is conditional upon approval from the Financial Services Authority and relevant overseas regulators, as well as the approval of Resolution’s shareholders. Resolution is a UK company formed in 2005 to acquire insurance companies and books of business from insurers.
