Norwegian Air Shuttle (No_rec, TP: NOK) - NOK3bn fully underwritten rights issue

Norwegian Air Shuttle has announced a fully underwritten NOK3bn rights issue to increase financial flexibility and ensure it complies with bond covenants. We find it positive that it is addressing its financing needs, which have been a key market concern, but expect a negative share price reaction today on the back of the dilutive effects of the upcoming transaction and potential eased near-term takeover speculation. Due to our role in the transaction, we now have NO REC (BUY) or target price (NOK270) on the stock.
