Regency Alliance Insurance Signs Private Placement Agreement to Strengthen Capital Base

Regency Alliance Insurance Plc has signed a Private Placement Agreement as part of its recapitalisation programme aimed at strengthening its capital base and meeting the minimum paid-up share capital requirement set by the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM).

The company disclosed that the agreement, signed on July 10, 2026, marks a significant milestone in its multi-phase capital raising programme approved by its Board of Directors.

The signing ceremony, held at the company’s headquarters in Lagos, was attended by members of the Board, management team, issuing houses, legal advisers, stockbrokers and other stakeholders.

Under the arrangement, Regency Alliance plans to raise capital through a private placement of 7.37 billion ordinary shares targeted at strategic investors.

According to the company, the capital injection will strengthen its solvency margin, enhance underwriting capacity, support business expansion and finance investments in technology, product innovation and customer experience.

Regency Alliance noted that the transaction also reflects the confidence of strategic investors in the company’s corporate governance, financial outlook and long-term growth strategy.

The insurer said the additional capital would position it to pursue new business opportunities, improve operational resilience, deepen market penetration and deliver sustainable value to shareholders, policyholders and other stakeholders.

The Board added that it remains committed to completing the capital raising exercise in an orderly and transparent manner while maintaining high standards of corporate governance and regulatory compliance.
