    High-street bank HBOS faces rights issue disaster
    THE high-street bank HBOS will tomorrow admit to one of the most disastrous rights issues in corporate history when it concedes that as few as 10% of its investors took up its £4 billion share offer.

    Its two underwriters, Morgan Stanley and Dresdner, will have to place £3.6 billion of shares over the course of Monday or Tuesday.

    If they are unable to place the shares at the rights-issue price of 275p or above, they will be forced to take them on to their own balance sheets.

    When HBOS originally announced its rights issue two and a half months ago, it was seen as being heavily discounted against a share price that was then standing at 500p.

    Shares in HBOS dropped to 254p, well below the rights-issue price, providing little incentive for institutional investors to take part. It is thought that many retail investors, who account for 25% of the group’s investor base, shunned the issue.

    You really need to get out more. Has a company in the HBOS group upset you or something? You seem very bitter.
