Old Mutual has received new approaches for its $900m controlling stake in its US asset management business, from potential buyers including China’s HNA Group, TPG and Advent.
耆卫(Old Mutual)拟出售在旗下美国资产管理公司所持的价值9亿美元的控股股份，目前收到了包括中国海航集团(HNA Group)、TPG和Advent等买家的新提议。
The UK-listed insurer held preliminary talks with the Chinese conglomerate as well as the two US private equity groups but has failed thus far to forge a path to a definitive agreement, according to four people briefed about the discussions.
四名知情人士表示，这家英国上市险企与海航集团以及两家美国私人股本集团完成了初步谈判，但迄今还远未达成一项决定性协议。
Instead of engaging the potential bidders, the insurer sold down part of its 66 per cent stake in Old Mutual Asset Management (OMAM) to 51 per cent on the open market in December, a move that has frustrated the buyers and could jeopardise a future deal.
这家险企没有接洽潜在竞买者，反而于去年12月在公开市场上出售了所持耆卫资产管理公司(OMAM)的股份，持股比例从66%降至51%。此举令买家感到灰心，并可能危及未来的交易。
HNA, the highly acquisitive Chinese group, is still interested in exploring a deal with Old Mutual only as long as it can buy a majority stake in OMAM, two sources said.
两位消息人士表示，海航这家收购意愿强烈的中国集团，仍有兴趣探索与耆卫达成交易，前提是它必须能够收购OMAM的多数股权。

Advent, the Boston and London-based private equity group, is still interested in a transaction, while TPG, the US private equity group, has since given up on a deal, people close to the companies said.
知情人士表示，总部设在波士顿和伦敦的私人股本集团Advent仍有兴趣与耆卫达成交易，而美国私人股本集团TPG已放弃了交易。
