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 Aviva).

In 1999 Delta Lloyd merged with OHRA. The company was renamed Delta Lloyd Group in 2002.

Initial public offering

The Delta Lloyd Group officially went public on the NYSE Euronext Amsterdam on 3 November 2009.[2] 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.

Originally, Delta Lloyd tried to merge its health insurance division with Agis and Menzis, but this deal fell through, thus necessitating Delta Lloyd to sell its health insurance division. Delta Lloyd sold it to CZ groep effective January 1, 2008.
