Investing.com – Shares of JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ:JBLU) and TripAdvisor (NASDAQ:TRIP) fell 6% each in Monday’s trade after their just-announced fundraising plans led to fears of equity dilution.

Both companies said they will raise debt that could later be converted into equity.

JetBlue will use convertible notes to raise $650 million due in 2026. The purchasers will have the option to subscribe up to $100 million notes additionally.

TripAdvisor will raise $300 million via convertible notes also due in 2026, with an option for subscribers to purchase an additional $45 million within 13 days.

Both the companies intend to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of indebtedness.
