Meanwhile, Islami Insurance is facing a regulatory investigation over corporate governance allegations made by six former sponsor directors against Chairman Mohammad Sayeed Khokon.
The former directors alleged that Khokon has been running the company from an undisclosed location while retaining financial and administrative authority.
They also alleged that after he became chairman in 2012, the six former sponsor directors were removed from the board without legitimate reasons and replaced by his wife, two daughters, sister-in-law and two companies owned by him.
According to the complainants, family-affiliated directors now number 10 and collectively control around 30.35% of the company's paid-up capital.
They alleged that the family-centric ownership and management structure violates provisions of the Companies Act, Insurance Act and securities laws.
The Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) has formed a four-member committee to investigate the allegations, review relevant documents and gather evidence before submitting a report.
The allegations have not been established by the regulator, and the investigation is ongoing.
