Proactive Investors - After two profit warnings in two months, Aston Martin (LON:AML) Lagonda Global Holdings PLC (LSE:AML) appears to have gotten something right at last.
The luxury carmaker managed to bring in £110 million via a stock issue flagged on Tuesday when it issued the second of those two earnings alerts.
It has also secured £100 million worth of debt to shore up its liquidity, giving it enough headroom to trade out of its current difficulties.
The haircut it was forced to take to sell the shares was relatively minor at 13.5% given the current predicament the luxury carmaker finds itself in.
That may, in part, reflect the support of cornerstone investor, the Yew Tree Consortium, which stumped up £50.5 million to complete the job of turning around the business.
Its figurehead, and the car maker's chairman, Lawrence Stroll, said: "Aston Martin has made huge strategic progress since the Yew Tree Consortium first invested in the company in 2020, transforming our product offering, revitalising our brand and accelerating our business operations forward.
"With the strong backing of Aston Martin's strategic shareholders and the Board, Adrian now leads the company into an exciting 2025 with a stronger and more resilient balance sheet, readying Aston Martin to deliver long-term value for all stakeholders."
