  • Zip Co has completed an issue of zero coupon senior unsecured convertible notes, raising A$400 million. The notes, which mature in 2028, are convertible into fully paid ordinary Zip shares at a conversion price of $12.39, which represents a 35 per cent premium over the reference share price. Zip said it would use the funds to drive growth in core markets and expand into new markets.

 

  • Innovation Holdings, which owns comparison site comparethemarket.com.au, plans to increase its stake in rival iSelect from 29 per cent to 35 per cent. The ACCC issued a statement yesterday saying it did not oppose the acquisition of another 6 per cent of iSelect.
