what happened
Pennon Group PLC has announced the outcome of its rights issue, according to a Reuters report. The offer gave holders seven new shares for every fifteen held, with roughly 220.3 million shares issued at 250 pence apiece.
The company said it received valid acceptances for about 94.229% of the total new shares. Underwriters have agreed to secure buyers for around 12.7 million remaining shares at the rights price.
why it matters
A rights issue raises fresh equity without new debt, and the high take-up suggests considerable investor interest in the offer. For existing shareholders, the main effect is dilution, since the new shares are priced at a fixed 250 pence.
