US insurer AIG has agreed to sell its Taiwan unit, Nan Shan, to Ruen Chen Investment Holding, part of the Ruentex Group, for $2.16 billion. If it is successful, the deal, which is still awaiting final regulatory approval, will signal the end of AIG’s sale of its Asian assets and the conclusion of the long-running attempt to dispose of Nan Shan.
It will also come as a blow to ex-Citi banker Bob Morse, whose new financial services group, Primus Financial Holdings, was rebuffed by regulators after apparently securing Nan Shan in an earlier bid for the business in August.
