Governance

Helios Underwriting Plc is incorporated in the UK and the Company’s shares are traded on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange. As a result, the Company is subject to the UK’s City Code on Takeovers and Mergers. There are no restrictions on the transfer of the company’s AIM securities.

The Board is committed to a high standard of corporate governance within the Company and its subsidiaries, which it seeks to demonstrate by adopting and being compliant with the principles of the Quoted Companies Alliance’s Corporate Governance Code (‘the QCA Code’).

Accordingly, the Board ensures the Company has a strong governance framework embedded within its culture and applies the principles of the QCA Code. The Board requires that the Company’s strategy of building a portfolio of underwriting capacity at Lloyd’s through the purchase of corporate members is carried out in a manner that is ethical and sustainable. This is achieved by focusing on syndicate portfolios comprising quality syndicates which are managed by leading managing agents at Lloyd’s. The Directors and the Board determine, support and will observe the Company’s ethical values in order to promote and preserve the Company’s reputation. The Board periodically reviews the governance framework and, as the Company evolves, will make such improvements and changes as considered necessary. Details are set out below of how the Company addresses and complies with the principles of the QCA Code and further information will be included in our next Annual Report and Accounts.

This website contains the information required to be disclosed by AIM Rule 26 and was last updated on 22 May 2025.
