LV= takeover may create conflicts of interest, says boss of trade body
Martin Shaw says ‘three-act tragedy’ has led to plans to demutualise, in criticism of chief executive and chair
Bosses at the insurer LV= have been criticised over alleged conflicts of interest in its controversial £530m private equity takeover, which has been labelled a “three-act tragedy”.
LV= plans to demutualise in order to receive investment from Bain Capital, a US private equity firm. However, three-quarters of its member-customers must back the plan in a vote on 10 December.
