Reinsurance Group of America Inc. says it intends to offer Class A common stock with a value of $250 million to members of the general public.
RGA, Chesterfield, Mo., wants to use the cash from the offering for general corporate purposes and to "pursue reinsurance opportunities," the company says.
MetLife Inc., New York, formerly RGA's majority owner, recently transferred a large stake in RGA to shareholders and is no longer the company's majority owner.
