Key Insurance Company Limited is considering a rights issue to raise much-needed capital to boost its capital base, which has taken a hit over the last year and a half.

The company’s new management has already agreed to and recommended the rights issue, which will be considered at a board meeting scheduled for Tuesday, September 8, 2020.

If the board approves the rights issue, it will then recommend to shareholders that they participate.

The rights issue will provide a much-needed lifeline for the financially ailing insurance company.

Key Insurance was taken over by the Grace Kennedy group earlier this year which bought majority control. Five months ago a new management team was put in place.
