Samsung Life Insurance
Samsung Life Insurance (032830) is moving to issue about 2 trillion won ($1.5 billion) in overseas hybrid capital securities to expand its investments abroad. It is the first bond sale in the company's history. The insurer aims to secure future growth drivers while maintaining its capital soundness.
Samsung Life said in a regulatory filing on the 8th that its board had approved the issuance of up to $1.5 billion in overseas hybrid capital securities at a meeting held on the 7th. The securities carry a 30-year maturity, and the company plans to complete the sale within the year.
If issued in full, the offering would be the largest ever by a South Korean insurer. Hanwha Life Insurance (088350) sold $1 billion of overseas hybrid capital securities in June last year, and Kyobo Life Insurance issued $500 million in June 2022.
Samsung Life said the decision was aimed at strengthening overseas investment while maintaining capital soundness and shareholder return policies such as dividends. The company is currently reviewing stake purchases in foreign insurers, including Principal Financial Group of the United States.
The issuance ceiling was set in consideration of the amount that could be raised in global financial markets, among other factors. Samsung Life plans to begin the issuance process, including roadshows for overseas institutional investors.
Separately, global credit rating agencies Moody's and Fitch on the same day assigned Samsung Life ratings of Aa3 and AA, respectively. Moody's Aa3 puts the insurer on par with Japan's Dai-ichi Life and Tokio Marine, while Fitch's AA matches the level of Hong Kong-based AIA.
"We plan to continue making investments preemptively to secure the company's mid- to long-term growth drivers," a Samsung Life official said.
