Troubled American retailer Bed Bath & Beyond announced a plan to raise money by issuing new shares. It also said that it signed deals worth of $500mn in financing, adding that it would close down 150 of its 953 stores, cut jobs and overhaul its merchandising strategy. Late last week, the company was said to have come close to securing a $370mn loan from investment firm Sixth Street, as per WSJ. The company had forecast a larger than expected 26% fall in its same-store sales for Q2 and said it would retain its buybuy Baby business, which it had put up for sale.
