JD Wetherspoon is hoping to raise almost £100m for its war chest, as it aims to buy new sites and support a business battered by lockdowns. The pub chain - one of Britain’s largest - is issuing up to 8,370,000 new ordinary shares at a price of between £11.00 and £11.20 a piece, according to a statement after market close on Tuesday. Wetherspoon hopes to raise between £92.1m and £93.7m, becoming the first UK hospitality firm to tap investors for a second time amid the pandemic.
