After Thursday’s market close, Assura confirmed that it has secured £182m through an equity issue.
The proceeds, less than the £190m target the healthcare investor set out when announcing the deal this morning, will be used to fund its development pipeline. The company expects to raise a further £8m through an offer to retail investors.
Its stock ended the day down by 2.5% at 71.2p, one of the sharper falls in the FTSE 250.
The biggest stock rise from a real estate company was a 5.5% lift for Palace Capital, taking the REIT’s shares to 251p, its highest for more than two months.
The FTSE 100 was up 0.6% at 7,284, with the FTSE 250 also up 0.6% at 23,574.
