CLOTHING retailer Truworths plans to issue a rights offer to raise working capital requirements and fund expansion initiatives.
In a cautionary statement to shareholders on Monday, the firm did not indicate the amount targeted.

“The transaction involves raising capital for the Company’s working capital requirements and expansion initiatives through the issuance of shares by way of a rights offer.
“Further details of the transaction will be provided in a circular to shareholders that is being finalised. Shareholders are, therefore, advised to exercise caution when trading in the Company’s shares,” reads the cautionary statement.
