AXA SA (AXA) said Tuesday that it took note of National Australia Bank Ltd's (NAB.AU) decision to drop its offer for the French insurance company's AXA Asia Pacific Holdings (AXA.AU) unit, and that it will continue to review its options in Asia.

"AXA remains fully committed to support the Australia and New Zealand businesses," it said in a statement.

NAB earlier Tuesday dropped its A$13.3 billion agreement to take over AXA APH after the Australian competition regulator last week said it would block the deal on competition concerns for a second time.
