The UK’s second-largest roadside assistance provider will change hands for £1 billion and the transaction should be completed by the end of the year.

Explaining the disposal, Aviva group chief executive, Andrew Moss, says: “The sale of RAC is another important step for Aviva and realises significant value for our shareholders.”

He adds: “Together with the recent partial disposal of Delta Lloyd, it demonstrates clear delivery of our strategy and provides the flexibility to deepen our presence in the priority markets where we have strength and scale.”

Based on 31st December 2010 results, the move will increase Aviva’s net assets by £0.6 billion and tangible net assets by £1 billion, or around 37p per share.

On completion, the group will make a one off contribution of £67 million into the scheme.
