Shore Capital Group plc, the investment bank focused on equity capital markets and alternative asset class funds, today announces that it is raising approximately £18.2 million in new equity.
27,150,794 new shares ("Placing Shares") have been placed at 67p per share with institutional and other investors. This represents a 2.9% discount to the market price at the time of the placing. The net proceeds of the placing will be used to provide additional working capital for the Group to support its further growth.
The Placing Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions hereafter declared, made or paid.
Dealings in the Placing Shares are expected to commence on 5 December 2006. The Placing Shares represent approximately 9 per cent of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the Placing.
Howard Shore, Executive Chairman, commented: "We are delighted with the support from both existing and new investors in this fund raising. The business continues to perform strongly and the success of the placing demonstrates investor confidence in the Group. The proceeds will allow Shore Capital to continue to build on our rapid growth to date across our diverse income streams of equity capital markets, principal finance and alternative asset management."
