JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank have launched the institutional shortfall bookbuild for APA Group’s $500 million equity raising.

Existing shareholders have been offered new shares at an almost 7 per cent discount on their last trading value of $8.26.

The shortfall is worth $11.6m at the floor price of $7.70 per share for the 1 for 17 pro rata accelerated institutional tradeable retail renounceable entitlement offer.

Bids are to be made in 5c increments starting at $7.70.

The institutional shortfall bookbuild opened at 4.30pm and closes by midday tomorrow.
