Thomas Cook has raised more than £650m in a bond issue as it refinances before its current lending agreements come up for negotiations next summer.
The tour operator (down 4.5p to 263p) issued two bonds - a £300m bond in sterling and a €400m bond - which will be used to fund an expansion of the group's online business, as well as long-planned expansion in Russia and Germany.
The euro bond carries an interest rate of 6.75pc and matures after five years, while the sterling issue has a coupon of 7.75pc and comes due after seven years.
Sunny outlook: Thomas Cook will use some cash to expand its online business
The bonds - which will be issued on the London Stock Exchange - currently have no credit rating but carry a commitment from Thomas Cook to obtain a rating before the first interest payment is due in April 2011.
