Analysts positive on AirAsia placement plan


PETALING JAYA: Analysts have responded positively to AirAsia Bhd’s plan to place a private placement of 20% of its share capital to raise about RM500mil, saying the move would “substantially enhance” AirAsia’s ability to restructure its finances while earnings dilution would be minimal.

The airline recently proposed a private placement of new shares amounting to 20% of its existing paid-up share capital or 475 million shares, with the aim to reduce debts and have more cash.
