Oxbridge Re’s Web3-Focused Subsidiary SurancePlus Announces Closing of its

Private Offering of Tokenized Reinsurance Securities

 

GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands — (June 28^th, 2023) — Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: OXBR) (“Oxbridge Re”), a provider of reinsurance solutions to property and casualty insurers in the Gulf Coast region of the United States, announced that its Web3-focused, wholly-owned subsidiary, SurancePlus Inc. (“SurancePlus”), closed a $2.4 million (USD) private capital raise through the sale of 244,776 of its tokenized reinsurance security, DeltaCat Re. The tokens will be issued on the Avalanche blockchain.

 

Ownership of DeltaCat Re tokenized reinsurance securities indirectly confers fractionalized interests in reinsurance contracts underwritten by Oxbridge Re’s reinsurance subsidiary, Oxbridge Re NS, for the 2023-2024 treaty year. Each digital security represents one preferred share of SurancePlus.

 

The DeltaCat Re digital security was offered to United States (“US”) accredited investors under Rule 506(c) of US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation D and to non-US investors pursuant to Regulation S of the US Securities Act 1933, as amended.

 

Commenting on the completion of the SurancePlus offering, Oxbridge Re’s President and Chief Executive Officer Jay Madhu said, “SurancePlus innovated upon Oxbridge Re’s existing special purpose vehicle for raising reinsurance capital, Oxbridge Re NS Limited, by applying digital innovations and insights from the Web3 space and democratizing access to reinsurance as an alternative investment. In doing so, we believe that we are the first publicly traded company to successfully raise capital for catastrophe reinsurance risks through the sale of tokenized reinsurance securities.”

 

Disclaimer: This press release does not constitute an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the DeltaCat Re tokens or the Series DeltaCat Re Preferred Shares underlying the tokens (the “Securities”). The Securities are not required to be, and have not been, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on the exemptions provided by Regulation S and Regulation D (SEC Rule 506(c)) thereunder. Offers and sales of the Securities are made only by, and pursuant to, the terms set forth in the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum relating to the Securities. The offering of the Securities is not being made to persons in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky, or other laws of such jurisdiction.
