Fubon Financial Holding Co (2881 TT) announced many months ago when it took over Jih Sun Financial (5820 TT) that it would do an equity raise to do so. In Taiwan, doing an equity raise via rights issue is a relatively common event. The company applied to do so, got permission in early August, then announced in late August a timeline and key details as it announced its H1 results. Janaghan Jeyakumar, CFA discussed this rights issue in Fubon Financial Holding Co (2881 TT): Rights Issue a week ago. Pricing was expected to be confirmed in the days ahead, and it has been confirmed. The 548,000,000 common shares will be issued at NT$58.9/share each. The 333,330,000 C Class Preferred Shares (non-cumulative dividend) will be issued at NT$60/share each.
