Ferrexpo Plc slumped 13% after the Ukrainian iron ore producer warned that without fresh funding it could run out of cash by the end of August.

The London-listed company said on Wednesday that it’s considering an equity raise of at least $100 million as it races to shore up liquidity after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine curbed its operating capacity. That would support its operations over the next 18 months.
