Intu to raise new equity in battle to repair balance sheet

Trafford Centre owner Intu aims to raise new equity

Intu made a statement on its financing plans following a Sunday Times story yesterday that said the shopping centre owner wanted to raise £1bn, which would test investor appetite for retail property after a year that saw landlords suffer in the wake of insolvencies.
