The company disclosed this at a signing ceremony involving all transaction parties held at its corporate head office in Victoria Island, Lagos. The event signalled the conclusion of all internal processes and professional engagements required for the Rights Issue.

With the structuring phase completed, shareholders of Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc will now have the opportunity to subscribe to 2,510,848,144 ordinary shares of 50 kobo each at N2.00 per share, on the basis of three new ordinary shares for every existing holding.

The management urged shareholders to take full advantage of the offer, noting that the Rights Issue presents an opportunity to increase their stake in the company and benefit from its projected growth.

According to the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Lucas Durojaiye, the company has set an ambitious growth agenda aimed at positioning itself among the top five insurance firms in Nigeria.

He noted that a strong capital base remains critical to achieving this objective, adding that full participation in the Rights Issue would strengthen the company’s capacity for expansion and long-term value creation.

“In achieving this aspiration, we have identified that a very robust capital base is critical to the success of the set agenda. We therefore call on our shareholders to fully exercise their rights and subscribe to the Rights Issue,” he said.

Durojaiye added that Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc is positioning itself to become one of the most preferred insurance companies in Nigeria, both as a service provider, an investment choice, and an employer of choice.

The Rights Issue forms part of broader efforts by the insurance sector to strengthen capitalisation, enhance competitiveness, and align with regulatory reforms under NIIRA.
