According to report by Lanka Business Online this morning, Textured Jersey Lanka, a Hong Kong-Sri Lanka joint venture textile manufacturer, has raised 1.74 billion rupees (15.8 million US dollars) through a private placement of shares ahead of a public offer.

The joint venture partners, Hong Kong listed Pacific Textile Holdings and Sri Lanka's Brandix, a privately held company, said they had sold a 20% stake to selected new shareholders who had to buy a minimum of 50 million rupees of shares, the report said.

The issue was ‘comfortably oversubscribed’ by the investors who were offered the stock, the company said in a statement. A 10% stake will be offered through a public offering after getting Colombo Stock Exchange approval at the same price as the private placement, the company said. It will raise 1.2 billion rupees.
