Continental Reinsurance Holdings Limited has announced a strengthened investment proposition ahead of its planned listing on the Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE), following the approval of its Supplementary Prospectus by the BSE.\n<\/p>\n

The Supplementary Prospectus confirms that the promoter-controlled existing shareholder vehicle, ACA Cornerstone Limited, will retain its entire 14.8 percent shareholding rather than exit the business as originally contemplated.\n<\/p>\n

It also incorporates audit reviewed interim financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2026, reflecting improved profitability and strong underwriting performance.\n<\/p>\n

Under the revised offer structure, ACA Cornerstone will retain all 253,951,336 of its existing shares. This represents approximately 11.9 percent of Continental Reinsurance Holdings\u2019 enlarged issued share capital following completion of the Offer, assuming all contemplated new shares are issued.\n<\/p>\n

ACA Cornerstone has also provided a formal undertaking, subject to specified conditions, to retain these shares for a minimum of five years following listing.\n<\/p>\n

Mutsunge Lawrence Nazare, group managing director of Continental Reinsurance Holdings, said: \u201cWe have engaged closely with investors and taken on board their feedback. The revised offer reflects that engagement and reinforces our long-term investment proposition. ACA Cornerstone\u2019s decision to remain invested, together with its five-year share retention undertaking, demonstrates continued commitment to the business and its future. We believe this strengthens alignment between existing and incoming shareholders as we prepare for our listing on the Botswana Stock Exchange.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

The Supplementary Prospectus also incorporates the Group\u2019s audit reviewed financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2026. Profit before tax increased by approximately 352 percent to P79.2 million, compared with P17.5 million in the corresponding period of 2025.\n<\/p>\n

Profit after tax rose by approximately 902 percent to P64.4 million from P6.4 million, while insurance revenue grew by 2.4 percent to P1.213 billion.\n<\/p>\n

Underwriting performance also improved, with the Group\u2019s underwriting margin improving from 4.2 percent in the prior-year period to 6.8 poercent in the current period. As at 30 June 2026, the Group reported total assets of P3.27 billion and total equity of P1.43 billion.<\/p>\n

The Public Offer will remain open until Friday, 20th November 2026, with the Group\u2019s listing on the BSE Main Board scheduled for 10th December 2026, subject to the applicable listing requirements.\n<\/p>\n

The offer price remains unchanged at P1.00 per share, with the Group continuing to target USD30 million in new growth capital through the offer for subscription.<\/p>\n
