RSA claims success in rights issue

The entrance to the London Stock Exchange

CEO Hester thanks shareholders for their support.

RSA has confirmed that investors have taken up 95.67% of its £773m rights issues.

With the remainder of the shares underwritten the provider has raised £748m after expenses.

The insurer was forced into the rights issue to generate capital after it had to inject £200m into its Irish operation to deal with issues within the business.

The insurer proposed the rights issue at the time of its 2013 results when it reported a £338m loss.

The process for the share placing was confirmed last month.
