'cap in hand to shareholders' yep the institutional ones who'll bite the hand off. Nothing for the small guy!

& theoretically shouldn't really hit the price too hard given that it would clear up all the uncertainty. The shorters will of course use it to try to tank the SP. Anyone holding long term this is of very little concern at all!

i agree Rackson. I've seen no mention of RI in any of the articles. Placing done tomorrow i would believe it to be

JG so if they did a straight placing tomorrow. Based on today's close price of 158. So tomorrow you would then have 495m share in circulation. Mkt capitalisation increased £548m + £180m. So £728m new market cap / 495m= 1.47 new SP

RI is preferable as you usually have the option to just cash in your rights as not everyone has the cash to fund new shares. We'll see soon i'm sure!

Rock because those were distressed raises that was why they went down the RI course. I suspect this will be snapped up by the large holders & PIs won't get a look in!

this would have been discussed for a long time behind the scenes probably explains the delay in results etc. If the BoD have got agreement from large shareholders to underwrite a full 150m share placing @120 that is what will happen. There will only be a RI if they cannot get the full amount underwritten from within!

i doubt this will be a rights issue. More likely an institutional placing which will probably be done & dusted tomorrow.

almost always the case JG. panic drop on announcement. Then settles down. happened with IAG, RR etc last year. It's not as bad as some will like investors to think. In the end if they need the cash, they have to do it!

will be some panic selling first thing i'd imagine. Always a bad move. This news was always on the cards & was what was holding things back i suppose!

JG, if it's an II placing 150m shares @120 it means there would now be 495m shares in circulation with market cap increased by £180m. Short term the market usually reacts badly. I'd expect this to drop tomoz to about 140 but in the coming days would settle down. Who knows?

Personally i'd just hope they get it done & dusted so the company can move on from all this uncertainty & nonsense. This would only knock the SP temporarliy. No big deal if you're happy to hold here!

so 150m new shares @120. would probably be a placing & soaked up by IIs. Bit crappy but i suppose was on the cards!

No you go away you 24 carat Ar sehole. You come on here trying to get people to sell to satisfy your bubble gum purchases. Proclaiming to be Warren Buffett or something. You are an outright buffoon who jumps from board to board making a nuisance of yourself with your mum or granny's pension & universal credit. Feck off you little locust!

Utter BS i was in on Centrica low 30s last year. None of your BS on that bb at all then!!

you bought at 390. they are 362 now. You lost!!

Tell the bb how much you paid for your HBR shares last week!!

y11, everyone sees through these retrospective wonderful trades you claim to make. Always a buy @ the lows & sell @ the highs but of course never declared at the time. Incredulous & utter banal trite nonsense. Go back to reading your comics!

Not good with energy shares y11 HBR loss; HUR loss!!!! LOSS. Loser!

Harbour Energy's SP today is a pre consolidation equivalent of PMO @18p. So if you bought PMO between 20-30p you have made a LOSS!
