What is the cash for? I had a quick look through the 2019 interim results, they didnt mention cash position ($90M sitting in CA) - didnt have time to ferrit through all the pages. They should include this as a minimum.
Is the new tech subsidiary draining money?
I suppose they need some money to fund their next dividend ;

They had $4.7m in cash at half year (part of the $90m)

Probably has increased higher since then as $12.5m of dividends were paid and THL (as W69 pointed out) has been using debts to pay dividends.
So the $90m raised is clearly to appease the banks.
In the main announcement they did say what new capital was ...and expanded on this in presentation
Extract-
The equity capital raising will:
Create additional balance sheet headroom and provide thl with financial flexibility to undertake smaller bolton acquisitions without the need to raise additional equity capital, allowing it to more quickly respond to opportunistic situations as they arise;
Fund near term investment in travel technology opportunities through TH2; and
Reduce debt levels and leverage, which thl considers to be prudent at this time given headwinds in some markets (e.g. USA).
