SG and BNP Paribas to lead Alstom rights issue

BNP Paribas and SG, the investment banking arm of Société Générale, will underwrite the upcoming rights issue for Alstom, the beleaguered French electrical equipment manufacturer.

The lack of involvement by JP Morgan is a surprise. In May last year the bank jointly led another Alstom rights issue with BNP Paribas, where the company raised €617m as part of the ongoing debt reduction programme.
