The British online and land gambling group William Hill plc has reported complete success in its rights issue offer to raise £350 million.
A company spokesman said that over 97% of the new shares offered in its rights issue had been snapped up in short order by investors keen to take advantage of a heavily discounted price of 105p as part of a bid to reduce the company's £1.4 billion debt.
In February William Hill confirmed the rights issue as part of a £840 million refinancing that also saw the final dividend scrapped.
William Hill saw a 3% dip in profits for the year to December 30, to £278.6 million.
Executives hope the discounted shares, underwritten by Citigroup, will strengthen the company's financial situation.
The spokesman said the shares, in a certificated form, would be dispatched to shareholders no later than April 16.
