Just bolsters capital base

The life insurer also failed to pay a dividend in 2018
March 15, 2019

Shareholders in Just Group (JUST) are feeling the sting of the Prudential Regulation Authority’s (PRA) plans to implement tighter capital requirements for equity-release mortgages. The life insurer has raised £300m in tier one debt and £75m via a share placing to boost capital levels, and has also pulled its final dividend after already deferring the interim payment. The dividend will now be rebased to around a third of the 3.72p paid in 2017.
