TRADING UPDATES: Hotel Chocolat fundraises; Argo's Texas crypto asset

Thu, 22nd Jul 2021 20:57

----------

Hotel Chocolat Group PLC - Royston, Hertfordshire-based chocolatier - Plans to raise GBP40 million through placing at 355 pence per share. Placing is 2.7% discount to Wednesday's closing price. "The net proceeds of the placing will support the company's future growth by expanding its factory footprint to 160,000 square feet, providing the capacity for the company to increase sales to GBP500 million," the company says.

----------
