Abrdn had previously indicated its intention to use a significant portion of the capital generated from such sales for share buybacks, with a further announcement to be made “in due course”.

“The shares sold constituted 1.66% of the paid-up, issued equity share capital of HDFC Life, and aMH06 now has no remaining shareholding in HDFC Life,” the Abrdn board said in its statement.
