Banco Bradesco is raising R$10 billion through a rights offering of 604.9 million new shares, split evenly between common and preferred. Existing shareholders can subscribe at a 5.72% ratio, meaning a holder of 1,000 shares can buy about 57 new shares. The offering is priced at R$15.43 per common share and R$17.64 per preferred share, with a minimum subscription of R$8 billion required to proceed. While the capital increase strengthens Bradesco's balance sheet, it dilutes existing holders who do not participate. The ability to offset subscription payments against previously declared interest on shareholders' equity (JCP) may ease the cash burden for some investors. This is a significant capital event for a bank of Bradesco's size, and the market will watch the subscription rate closely.
