Europe's largest Internet company with stakes in more than 100
start-ups aims to build an e-commerce operating empire, for
which it constantly seeks fresh funds.
Just four months after it raised 1.4 billion euros in its stock
flotation in October, the Berlin-based group went to investors
with a capital hike of 588 million euros.
Having the option of issuing the bond would help Rocket to "be
prepared in fast moving markets", a company spokesman said on
Tuesday.
Rocket shares fell 1.7 percent to 38.06 euros in early Tuesday
trade, underperforming the broader market.
The volatile stock currently trades around 10 percent off the
level at which its initial public offering was priced.
