Head fake? "E*Trade Financial (ETFC Quote) was among the worst decliners in the financial sector Wednesday, while several bank stocks were pressured by a ratings downgrade from Standard & Poor's. E*Trade said it is raising $1.2 billion through the sale of common stock and a "significant" debt exchange as part of the brokerage firm's plans to raise capital. The company plans to raise $400 million through a common stock offer and exchange more than $1 billion in outstanding debt to help strengthen its capital structure. The proceeds from the offering will provide additional equity capital. E*Trade will also offer to exchange more than $1 billion of new zero-coupon convertible debt for all of its 8% senior notes due 2011 and part of its 12.5% springing lien notes due 2017. Citadel Investments, E*Trade's largest shareholder, will participate in both the stock offer and debt exchange. The hedge fund agreed to purchase either $50 million or $100 million of stock, depending on the public offering price, and will convert $800 million of the company's long-term debt, E*Trade said. Shares tumbled 11.5% to $1.46. " http://www.thestreet.com/story/1051...html?puc=_wal_html_pla1&cm_ven=EMAIL_wal_html
