Alstom to ask shareholders for US$1bil in rights issue to slash debt


French train maker Alstom on Wednesday said it would ask shareholders for around 1 billion euros ($1 billion) through a rights issue as part of a plan to slash debt and bring its finances back on track.

Alstom had flagged a potential capital increase late last year, sending shares tanking after a cash-flow warning in October made clear to investors it was struggling with debt.
