MeggittMeggitt, the defence equipment supplier, has raised $600 million in new debt, which will be used to replace some of the group’s existing facilities, which had been due to expire in 2012 and 2013.
The fundraising is split between $250 million to be drawn down this month and the remaining $350 million in October. The group’s initial debt offering of $200 million had been subscribed five times, so Meggitt wascapable to increase the fundraising to $600 million without any significant change in couopon.
According to Meggitt, it is said that the covenant conditions on the new debt were similar to those on its existing debts. Part of the newly raised debt will switch to a floating interest rate, beginning later this year, though the group didn’t indicate how much of the debt would switch to floating rate.

Plant Sapped by Hairpin Sales

Sunday, June 20, 2010 11:04
Posted in category stock market

Plant Health Care dropped by 36.8% to 110p after the seed technology company warned of lower-than-expected sales of its Harpin product to Monsanto, the US biotechnology company that is its key customer.
Evolution Securities responded to the news by cutting its 2011 earnings per share forecast from 12.2 cents to just 1.2 cents.
According to the broker, it is said that the weak demand for Monsanto’s genetically modified soyabeans suggests the US group needs to rethink marketing and it will delay Plant’s move into profitability.

Posted in category News

The struggling nightclub operator—Luminar, is believed to have drafted in advisers from PwC to help it restructure its debt as the company looks to avoid breaching banking covenants when they are tested in August.
The company, which has endured torrid trading as rising youth unemployment kept more of its core customer market of 18-to-24-year-olds at home, has seen its shares fall by 93% over the past year following three profit warnings.
The stock fell another 6% to a fresh low of 8.75p, extending losses for investors who bought into the company’s discounted equity issue at 95p a share in July last year.
