The purchase was made through the Kingsway America Inc. Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP).

In other recent news, Kingsway Financial Services Inc. reported a notable increase in revenue for the first quarter of 2025, with an 8.4% rise year-over-year, reaching $28.3 million. However, the company experienced a decline in consolidated adjusted EBITDA, which fell by $800,000 compared to the previous year. Kingsway’s strategic acquisitions, including MLC Plumbing and Viewpoint, were highlighted as part of their efforts to enhance service offerings. The company completed a $15.7 million private placement, allowing them to increase their acquisition target to 3-5 businesses per year. Additionally, Kingsway issued a new class of preferred stock, raising $2 million in a private placement. This move is aimed at strengthening the company’s capital structure without immediate dilution of common stock. The issuance of the Class D Preferred Stock offers holders fixed cumulative preferential cash dividends at a rate of 8% per annum. These developments reflect Kingsway’s continued focus on growth and strategic expansion.
