Frontline seeks to raise $100m from share issue to fund vessel buys
John Fredriksen’s Frontline is looking to raise $100m from a share sale to fund vessel acquisitions.

The planned offering of 13.4m new shares at $7.45 per share is targeted at Norwegian and international institutional investors raising gross proceeds of $100m. The minimum application is set a US dollar equivalent of EUR100,000.

“The net proceeds from the offering will be used to opportunistically fund growth opportunities through vessel acquisitions and for general corporate purposes,” Frontline said.

The company has hired Arctic Securities to manage the offering.
