Alco (HKG:0328) is looking to consolidate its shares and raise further capital via a rights issue, according to a Tuesday Hong Kong bourse filing.

Shares of the electronics seller fell over 11% in morning trade Wednesday.

The company proposed a 1-for-10 share consolidation to reduce the number of shares in issue to 11,455,686 from 114,556,865.

Meanwhile, the company said it would seek to raise up to HK$148.5 million via a rights offering.

The issue would offer eligible shareholders four new shares for every one consolidated share they hold in the company at HK$3.24 each.

The company would have 45,822,744 shares available for issue under the rights offering.

Any shares that are unsubscribed will be offered to Advent Securities (Hong Kong) for placement on a best effort basis by Nov. 4.

Funds raised will be used to repay debt and for general working capital, Alco said.

The company expects to call a meeting of shareholders on Aug. 22 to seek approval for the share consolidation and rights offering.
