The acquisition price has not been disclosed.
Mirabilis CEO, Mr Curt Meyer, said, “The transaction will strengthen our already excellent capability and service offering to the engineering sector in South Africa. Furthermore, it will provide us with a significant strategic advantage by leveraging Santam’s footprint across Africa and certain international markets.”
Santam says that the acquisition is subject to the fulfilment of regulatory conditions before it becomes effective.
