Good evening,

Emergency capital raisings have hit fever pitch.

On Monday alone, equity markets were being tapped for more than $2.7 billion between the likes of Auckland Airport, Reece and Flight Centre.

And that's just the beginning of what should be a mammoth week for raisings before a brief reprieve over the Easter break.

Next cab off the rank is Oil Search, which had its bankers Goldman Sachs and Macquarie Capital wall crossing fundies on Monday to shore up support for its $1 billion-plus raising.

However, Street Talk can tonight reveal that one very prominent Oil Search investor will be sitting this round out. We unveil who.

Elsewhere, the hunted has turned into the hunter at Healius, which has its eyes on a pathology services player owned by a mid-tier local private equity firm.

Finally, we check in on tech-focused PE firm Potentia Capital and reveal which one of its portfolio companies has just gone global.

Happy reading,

Sarah Thompson, Anthony Macdonald and Tim Boyd
