expects its decline in underlying revenue to be just 4% in the third quarter of

suffering heavily from the impact of coronavirus lockdowns and a halt in
elective procedures. * ROLLS-ROYCE: Britain's Rolls-Royce RR.L said it planned to raise 2
billion pounds from shareholders, 1 billion pounds from the bond market and
secure further loans to rebuild its balance sheet after COVID-19. * PREMIER OIL: Creditors of North Sea-focused Premier Oil PMO.L have
extended a waiver for the group's debt covenant test until Nov. 5, giving it
breathing space to avoid a debt crunch, the company said on Thursday.
* DE LA RUE: Banknote printer De La Rue DLAR.L on Thursday named Rob
Harding as its chief financial officer after appointing him as the interim CFO
earlier this year. * The UK blue-chip index .FTSE closed 0.5% lower on Wednesday, after a
