AXA Mansard Pensions Limited is also going away

AXA Mansard Insurance Plc in February 2020 announced that its shareholders had approved the company’s plan to sell its pension management subsidiary (AXA Mansard Pensions Ltd).

The statement made available to the Nigerian Stock Exchange said the shareholders reached the resolutions during the company’s Extra-Ordinary General Meeting which took place on Thursday, 13th February 2020.

Subsequently, the company’s directors were authorised to appoint advisors and other professionals whose services are necessary towards facilitating the divestment.

Though AXA Mansard Insurance Plc did not give any reason for the divestment in Pensions, but its likely connected with the new requirements for recapitalization of insurance companies by the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM).

We are hoping to get updates on the divestment soon, as AXA Mansard Insurance Plc., is set to hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Wednesday 29 July 2020.

Below is the full AXA Mansard Insurance Plc February 2020 Statement on divestment from Pensions.
