Media reports confirm Skye Bank Plc is planning to raise about $150million in Tier Two Capital (Bonds or Preference Shares or Mezzanine Finance) to help shore up its Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR). The Banks’s CAR is currently 16.9% just 1.9% higher than the CBN approved 15% meaning any further major write offs can suddenly put the bank under the CBN’s watch list. The bank also plans to raise Tier One Capital (Equities).
