COMMONWEALTH Bank of Australia unveiled a A$5 billion (S$5.16 billion) rights issue and another record profit on Wednesday, completing a round of fundraising by Australia's "Big Four" lenders designed to strengthen their finances.
CBA, the country's No 2 lender by assets, announced a fully underwritten 1-for-23 rights issue at A$71.50 a share, a 12.9 per cent discount to Tuesday's close. This brings the total funds raised by Australia's major banks since May to A$17 billion.
