HSBC £12.5bn rights issue 40% sub-underwritten

HSBC's £12.5bn (€14bn) rights issue has received pledges of support for 40% of the transaction due to commitments by Hong Kong tycoons to take on the role as sub-underwriters, a person familiar with the situation said Wednesday.

Sub-underwriters underwrite the risk taken on by underwriters.
