Nov 13 : Hong Kong property developer New World Development has appointed banks to prepare for a rights issue that could raise as much as HK$25 billion ($3.2 billion), Bloomberg News reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Trading in New World's shares was halted on Friday pending the release of inside information by the company, according to a pre-market filing to the Hong Kong exchange.
New World did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Hong Kong property developer, the most heavily indebted among its local peers, has been trying to cut debt, dispose of assets and bolster liquidity amid tight credit conditions and a weak property market.
