Balfour Beatty rights issue has strong uptake


Engineer and construction contractor Balfour Beatty has revealed that 97.06% of the shares on offer in the three-for-seven rights issue at 180p a share were taken up by shareholders.

The remaining shares were sold at 287p a share. The profit on the sale after deducting the 180p issue price and expenses will be distributed to the investors who did not take up their rights.

The rights issue raised £353m net of expenses. The cash is being used to finance the £380million acquisition of US consultant Parsons Brinckerhoff.
