Salt Lake City, Utah – September 26, 2025 – Experior Financial Group Inc., one of North America’s fastest-growing Managing General Agencies, today announced a strategic alliance with Associate Owners Group Inc. (AOG) through a share exchange agreement. The alliance brings AOG officially into Canada via Experior’s headquarters in Guelph, Ontario, and Cheektowaga, New York, creating a North American financial powerhouse with plans to pursue an initial public offering (IPO) target of three years.

As part of the transaction, all Experior shareholders will hold ownership in AOG, aligning both organizations and creating unprecedented opportunities for agents, associates, and investors alike.

A Stronger Future for Agents, Investors, and Families 
 
“This alliance represents the next evolution of our mission to build financial foundations for families,” said Jamie Prickett, Co-CEO of AOG. “By officially bringing AOG into Canada through Experior, we are empowering our agents with ownership opportunities, creating the opportunity for generational wealth for our shareholders, and positioning ourselves for an IPO within three years. Agents will have access to everything they could need to succeed from E&O insurance, Reinsurance, P&C insurance, a CRM and a host of technology and other companies that have been acquired under one umbrella.” 
 
Monte Holm, Co-CEO of AOG, added: “Experior’s leadership and rapid growth are truly remarkable. With Jamie joining me as Co-CEO, and the combined strength of our organizations, we are poised to disrupt the industry, expand rapidly across North America, and deliver extraordinary value to both families and financial professionals.”

  • Lee-Ann Prickett, President and COO of Experior, becomes President and CEO of Experior and joins the AOG Board.
