Pay-TV company Sky (NZSE: SKY) says it will release further details on a $100 million capital raising next month.

The company is planning to issue capital notes in New Zealand to raise a minimum of $100 million. Chairman, Tom Mockridge, says the money will provide useful additional sources of capital to assist with funding ongoing growth.

JB Were has been appointed lead manager and underwriter to the issue, but it's not yet known if there will be a public pool for the notes.

GPG recently took a $250 million notes issue to the market, paying 9%, but there was no public pool for the capital raising.

Brokers report there is keen interest in the market for good quality notes given current low interest rates.
