Dentsu Inc Will Raise $1.2 Billion In Public Share Sale

By

Dentsu Inc made the announcement for their plans to raise funds that will help pay for the deal that they made with Aegis Group PLC. Dentsu is opening a public share sale to raise US $1.2 billion or ¥120.1 billion.

The proceeds from the public share sale will be used to repay the short term debt that they acquired from the acquisition of Ageis.

Nomura Holdings Inc plus 5 other firms were hired by Denstu to arrange public share sale in Japan and in overseas markets, according to a filing made with the Japan Finance Ministry.

Dentsu Inc is the biggest advertising agency in Japan. The $4.8 billion deal with Aegis made Dentsu the biggest independent buyer for advertising space, thus reducing its reliance for advertising in the domestic market.

The acquisition of Aegis made Dentsu a forerunner alongside other global firms Omnicom Group Inc and WPP PLC.
