PRESS RELEASE—In line with the company’s preparedness to meet the new minimum capital requirement for the insurance industry, AIICO Insurance Plc has received shareholders’ approval to increase its authorized share capital from N10 billion to N18 billion.

At the Extra-Ordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) which held on Monday, October 14 in Lagos, the shareholders demonstrated their support by voting in favour of this proposition. Speaking at the EGM, the Chairman of the Board, Mr. Kundan Sainani, stated that AIICO has received NAICOM’s No Objection to its recapitalization plan.
