Shares of Nvidia supplier Wistron Corporation dropped over 6% after the company priced a $1.47 billion global depositary receipt offering to fund raw material costs.
What Happened
Capital Raise Details: Wistron Corporation has priced a $1.47 billion global depositary receipt offering, issuing 25 million receipts at $58.88 each. This move represents 250 million new common shares, which equates to approximately 7.29% of the company's pre-issuance outstanding shares.
Market Reaction: Investors reacted negatively to the dilution news, sending Wistron shares down more than 6% on Tuesday. The offering price of NT$186.24 per share reflects a 5.5% discount compared to the company's previous closing price of NT$197.
