DEAP Capital Management & Trust Plc has announced a significant boost to its operations with a N1.0 billion equity investment from Banklink Africa Private Equities Limited. This capital injection, disclosed in a filing with the Nigerian Exchange on February 10, 2026, marks a pivotal moment for the company.

According to the company’s secretary, Osammor Otiono & Co., the funds are earmarked for supporting the company's capital expansion and restructuring operations to align with its new strategic direction.

Dr. Kenneth Olise, Chairman of DEAP Capital, commented on the transaction, stating, "This milestone investment marks a significant step in DEAPCAP’s recapitalisation and strategic repositioning."

Further underscoring its strategic initiatives, DEAP Capital revealed in January 2026 that it had executed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to commence a Minerals and Metals Financing initiative across Africa. The company's upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) is expected to provide further details and reinforce investor confidence in its growth trajectory.

DEAP Capital Management & Trust was listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NGX) on December 17th, 2007. The company operates in the capital market, mortgage banking, and oil & gas sectors within Nigeria.

The N1.0 billion investment is a critical step in DEAPCAP’s repositioning to meet regulatory requirements and venture into the mineral finance space.

In its audited financial statement for the year ended September 2025, published in December, DEAP Capital reported a pre-tax loss of N28.8 million.

As of midday on February 11, 2026, the company’s shares are priced at N9.07 per share, reflecting a 10% intraday gain compared to the previous day’s closing price.
