  Material uncertainty over going concern

  On 23 December 2024, the Boards of DLIG and Aviva plc ('Aviva') reached an agreement pursuant to which Aviva agreed to purchase the entire share capital of DLIG, subject to regulatory approval. Therefore, given the potential change in control, the Directors consider these conditions to constitute a material uncertainty (as defined under IAS 1) which may cast significant doubt over the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
