The Financial Post reports in its Saturday edition that McCarthy Corp PLC, a London-based and Alberta Stock Exchange-listed investment company, is becoming more intimate with British businessman Richard Branson's Virgin Group. Virgin holds 18.2 per-cent of McCarthy, is looking for board representation, is backstopping the $42 million rights issue McCarthy disclosed on Thursday and will benefit when McCarthy invests at least $19 million of the money raised in Branson's V2 music company, according to McCarthy. A great deal of McCarthy Corp.'s assets are now Virgin-related and, going forward, this will be a growing feature of the corporation's identity, according to chairman Rory McCarthy. The company, which owns 33 per-cent of V2, plans to raise the $42 million from existing shareholders through a rights issue. Up to $24 million will be reinvested in Branson's V2, according to president Tim McCarthy. The rest will be used to retire bank debt and for working capital.
