In a recent notice to the Nigerian Stock Exchange, Consolidated Hallmark Insurance (CHI) has announced its rights issue will open on Monday the 16th of October and closes on Wednesday the 22nd of November 2017. The company will be offering 1 billion shares at 50 kobo on the basis of 1 new share for every 6 held. Planet Capital Ltd is the issuing house for the offer.
The company’s shareholders, at the its yearly general meeting, had authorised the company, among other matters, to raise additional capital of up to N2.5 billion by way of issuance of shares subject to obtaining the relevant regulatory approvals,

Purpose of the rights issue

Chairman of the company, Obinna Ekezie at an event marking the signing of the offer, stated that proceeds from the rights issue would be used to acquire a life insurance company. The acquisition was to enable Consolidated Hallmark Insurance benefit from opportunities in the life insurance space. Several insurance firms in the country have embarked on capital raising exercises due to the risk based capitalization system out in place by the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM). Insurance firms can only underwrite risk commensurate with their capital base.
