Ohio National Demutualization
In today's BetterWealth episode, Dan and I discuss Ohio National's decision to go from a mutual company to a stock company which is called a demutualization process. We talk about the pros and cons, as well as, discuss the details we have given to date.
What is happening?
- If approved, Ohio National will demutualize and become a stock-owned subsidiary of the Canadian company Constellation Insurance Holdings, Inc.
- Constellation will purchase Ohio National in its entirety for $1 Billion.
- $500 million will go to Ohio National participating policyholders to buy out their ownership interest in the company
- The remaining $500 million will be for strategic business purposes
- The proposed transition requires regulatory and policy holder approval
- The ultra-low interest rate environment is something these 100+ year old companies haven’t faced at length before
- Large old companies are generally slow to adapt to new trends
- New technology-driven companies are increasing competition
- The recent announcement suggests that this transaction will strengthen the company’s financial position, enhance its market position, and give it the necessary resources to facilitate future growth.
**This does not mean other mutual companies are headed in the same direction.
