Miner NWR sells 75 pct of new shares in rights issue

By

Czech hard coal miner New World Resources (NWR) said on Tuesday investors took up 3.78 billion new shares in a rights issue that is part of the company's debt and equity restructuring plans.

The take-up represents 75.12 percent of new shares, NWR said. A rump placing will start immediately for the remaining shares.

NWR is raising 118 million euros in a rights issue underwritten by certain noteholders along with a 32-million-euro placing of equity to participating noteholders after shareholders and creditors approved in August a rescue plan to help NWR pull out of deep losses and escape insolvency
