Trisura Group shareholders have re-elected the company’s full board of directors, with all nine nominees securing majority support at its virtual annual meeting.
The vote came weeks after the Toronto-listed insurer reported higher first-quarter earnings. Trisura posted net income of $37.4 million and operating net income of $37.9 million for the quarter. Net insurance revenue rose 12.1%, driven by growth in US Programs and Primary lines.
Trisura held its annual meeting on June 2, 2026, in Toronto. Shareholders voted on the election of directors, as well as the appointment of the company’s external auditor.
Chris Sekine received the strongest support among the nominees, with 34,676,237 votes in favor, representing 99.96% of votes cast. His election follows his appointment to Trisura’s board earlier this year, when the company also announced the retirement of founder Robert Taylor from the Trisura Group board. Taylor continues to serve as a director on the board of Trisura Guarantee Insurance Company.
Sekine previously served as president and CEO of Trisura Guarantee Insurance Company from 2018 to 2024. He has been with the company since its inception in 2006, when he established its Surety line of business.
Sacha Haque followed with 99.84% support. Barton Hedges and Lilia Sham each received 99.83%, while Janice Madon received 99.81% and David Clare received 99.61%.
The remaining directors also received majority support. Anik Lanthier secured 98.81%, Paul Gallagher received 96.65%, and George Myhal received 95.35%. Among the nominees, George Myhal had the highest number of withheld votes at 1,611,553, or 4.65% of votes cast. Paul Gallagher followed with 1,160,787 votes withheld, or 3.35%.
Shareholders also approved Deloitte LLP as Trisura’s external auditor, following a recommendation from the audit committee. The auditor appointment received 34,981,300 votes in favor, representing 99.93% of votes cast. A total of 25,645 votes, or 0.07%, were withheld.
The meeting came after a recent capital raise by Trisura. Last March, the company completed a $200 million senior unsecured notes offering, which it described in its first-quarter results as its largest capital raise to date.
