Green light for the merger of Baloise and Helvetia

On September 12, 2025, Baloise and Helvetia announced that they had received further approvals crucial to their merger. The Swiss Competition Commission and the European Commission approved the proposed merger, bringing the two companies closer to their goal. The transaction is expected to close on December 5, 2025, subject to final regulatory approvals. Since the initial agreement in April and shareholder approval in May, the companies have been working closely with the authorities to ensure a successful completion.

The merger means that Baloise shares will cease to be listed on December 5. The new Helvetia Baloise shares will go public on December 8, 2025. This merger marks a key milestone, as the companies remain confident in their ability to meet the remaining conditions. Contact: media.relations@baloise.com.
