AirAsia is reported to be considering a rights issue to raise additional capital. – REUTERSPIXthis month it emerged that AirAsia plans to restructure US$15.3 billion of debt and is considering a rights issue to help raise up to RM2.5 billion in additional capital to strengthen its balance sheet and ensure sufficient liquidity to see it through the ongoing period of economic uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
For many public companies this plan will involve returning to the equity markets to raise capital, particularly as banks appear reluctant to lend businesses more money. For companies in some sectors, such as aviation, hospitality or export manufacturing, a decline in operating cash flow can be clearly attributed to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, for others the link may be less obvious and require careful explanation to establish causality. Establishing this link is important to reassure shareholders that a business remains fundamentally sound and the need to raise money is not cause for alarm bells to ring.
Prior to a rights issue, companies are required to publish a circular that provides shareholders with detailed information about the recapitalisation, as well as a notice of EGM informing them when their approval for the process will be sought through a vote.
