Move follows a letter of intent signed last year, that along with Allianz AG, they will reduce their cross holdings and also restructure their shareholdings in joint subsidiaries and other companies. Further, Munich Re plans to make an offer to outside holders of ERGO shares to raise its stake to 95%. Stresses that a capital increase will not be necessary.
