LONDON (Bloomberg) - Bermuda-based Omega Insurance Holdings Ltd., a Lloyd's of London insurer, plans to raise £130 million ($193 million) by selling shares to "support" its underwriting business as rivals struggle with cash shortages following Hurricane Ike.
Omega will sell 92.9 million shares for 140 pence each, the company said in a statement distributed by the Regulatory News Service yesterday.
