Founding date

Why is the company's founding date 1816 and the founder's birth 1935?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.40.10.246 (talk) 05:54, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

'15th as the largest company in the world'?

How can you be ranked '15th as the largest company in the world'? Who wrote this? And looking at these comments methinks this article is in trouble. An IQ injection desperately needed.

The reference above of '15th as the largest company in the world' is NOT what the entry says. Yeah, an IQ injection is surely needed... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chora68 (talk • contribs) 01:18, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I've just removed the reference to AXA "recently" acquiring National Mutual; this occurred in the early 90's (1992, I think) and so isn't that recent, particularly compared to other AXA acquisitions such as MONY (Mutual Of New York) last year. In addition, AXA only acquired 51% of National Mutual. Aholcombe 03:57, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

The revenue for AXA in the box is horribly off. 147.773B Euros/321.616B USD is not slightly correct... not to mention the conversion is also completely innaccurate. I've corrected using AXA's publicly released 2004 revenue of 122.72B USD. WHY?

I agree with the comments above. This article was very misleading because AXA is not a single company but more like a Burger King franchise. Okay, more like Coca Cola Bottling Companies, or Century 21 real estate, or Holiday Inns.

While AXA claims group wealth its local fine print advertising makes it clear that AXA's assets are locally controlled within specific companies incorporated variously under the differing laws and regulations of many countries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.128.80.96 (talk) 02:04, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Largest in the world or Europe?

• [1] Second largest in France
• [2] Second largest Europe
• [3] Largest world

Help needed on it? STTW (talk) 17:28, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

The links above lead to self-promotion! In other words there is no independent verification of these claims and the facts on the ground question their validity. AXA is not a single company but a group of independently operating companies registered in many countries according to various regulations. The myth that it is a monolithic company comes from its own group advertising - but its local advertising fine print tells a different story. This group is not a strong as it claims to be under the shadow of its AXA logo.

Who is Jennifer Pittman?

How does she have anything to do with AXA? She's the heiress of a public company? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chora68 (talk • contribs) 01:27, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Headquarterd?

Headquarterd sounds like its head is being cut into four. Surely its 'headquarters are at....' reads better than it is 'headquartered in...' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.170.39.36 (talk) 15:09, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Source of name AXA

Requires information about AMP / AXA bid for AXA Asia-Pacific

On 7 November 2009, AXA APH received an unsolicited bid from AMP. The proposal was for AMP to acquire the Australian and New Zealand assets of AXA APH, and to sell the rest to AXA SA. This bid was rejected on 9 November 2009 by AXA APH directors.

On 14 December 2009, AXA APH received a revised offer from AMP. This was rejected on 17 December 2009 by AXA APH directors, who simultaneously announced they were accepting a counter offer from National Australia Bank (NAB).

The NAB bid was provisionally rejected by Australian government regulators on 19th April 2010. Despite a redesign of aspects of the bid, it was finally rejected by Australian government regulators on 9th September 2010, and formally withdrawn by NAB on 14th September 2010.

On 15 November 2010, AXA APH received an revised bid from AMP. The bid was accepted on 18 November 2010 by AXA APH directors. After a shareholder vote in March 2011, the takeover was finalised on 30 March 2011, with the non-Australian and New Zealand assets transferring to AXA SA the following day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 57.70.27.233 (talk) 04:40, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Countries

AXA is no longer active in the Netherlands (taken over by SNS Reaal), so the map ought to be updated. -- Olaf, 8 June 2011 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiolaf (talk • contribs) 15:49, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
