Macquarie Korea Infra Fund Announces A Rights Offering Worth 361 Billion Won
- On 28 July, Macquarie Korea Infra Fund (088980 KS) announced that it will conduct a rights offering worth 361 billion won, representing 7.4% of its current market cap.
- The major uses of funds from the rights offering include acquisition of a city gas supplier (128 billion won) and investment in Incheon-Gimpo Expressway private investment project (128 billion won).
- We have a positive view of this rights offering. We believe the acquisition of CN City Energy and the investment in Incheon-Gimpo Expressway will add additional value on the company.
