SVB Financial Group Crashed Over 60% Before Halting the Morning Trading As Attempts to Raise Capital Failed

Tiger Newspress2023-03-10

Attempts by SVB Financial Group to raise capital have failed, the sources said, and the bank has hired advisors to explore a potential sale. Large financial institutions are looking at a potential purchase of SVB.

Shares of the bank fell 60% on Thursday after SVB announced a plan Wednesday evening to raise more than $2 billion in capital. The stock fell another 60% in premarket trading Friday.

Under the terms of a plan released Wednesday, SVB was looking to sell $1.25 billion in common stock and another $500 million of convertible preferred shares.

SVB also announced a deal with investment firm General Atlantic to sell $500 million of common stock, though that agreement was contingent on the closing of the other common stock offering, according to a securities filing.

Stocks crashed over 60% in morning trading and tumbled nearly 85% in 2 days.
