Sigma Healthcare (ASX:SIG) is considering raising capital through a convertible bond issue, with analysts speculating a raise of up to AU$1 billion, according to a Monday report by the Australian, citing unnamed sources.
The move is part of the company's strategy to manage debt following its AU$33 billion merger with retail pharmacy chain Chemist Warehouse earlier this year, the report said.
Sigma did not immediately respond to a comment request from MT Newswires.
