TUI Group has raised a further €1.8 billion to repay a loan from the German Government.
The money raised via a rights issue will also be used to ‘significantly’ reduce TUI’s KfW credit line.
Existing shareholders were able to buy new shares at a ratio of eight new shares for three existing ones for €5.55 per share.
Sanctioned shareholders, including Russian Alexey A Mordashov, were banned from buying new shares.
TUI said about 90.9% of subscription rights were exercised.
The unsubscribed shares subsequently were fully sold to qualified investors.
CEO Sebastian Ebel said: “I would like to thank our shareholders for accompanying us on this important and successful step.
“We are reducing our debt and interest costs, TUI will have a good balance sheet structure. Now we focus on profitable growth and improved profitability.”
