RSA considering rights issue
Provider keeping its options open.
RSA has responded to weekend press speculation that it is on the verge of a substantial rights issue offer to raise capital.
Stories in the national media put the potential rights issue as ranging from £350m to £800m in size.
The cash call would be in response to the £200m black hole found in the insurer's Ireland unit last year and would follow the recent appointment of Stephen Hester as CEO.
In a statement this morning the provider confirmed that it was looking at options to raise funds.
