Exor on Tuesday said it entered a Memorandum of Understanding to sell PartnerRe to French insurer Covea for $9 billion.

The deal is expected to close by the end of this year, subject to closing conditions and the successful completion of required consultations with workers' councils, Exor said.

In addition to a total cash consideration of $9 billion, Exor said it will receive a $50 million cash dividend before closing.

Exor said it acquired PartnerRe in 2016. Since then, PartnerRe's operating performance enabled it to "pay Exor a total of $661 million in dividends and to grow its book value to common shareholders by $510 million to $6.57 billion," Exor said, adding "Including dividends received since 2016 the aggregate cash return to Exor following completion of the proposed transaction will amount to $3 billion."

Exor is a diversified family-controlled holding company.
