Owner Carson Yeung has dropped his overall stake in Birmingham City to 23.3 per cent from 24.9 per cent after £3.63m was raised by selling 250m shares.
A statement said 6.43 per cent of Birmingham International Holdings — the club's holding company - has been sold to people unconnected with the club.
Blues won the Carling Cup in February but after revealing debts of £27.27m in April, they will need to provide assurances about finances to play in the Europa League next season.
Meanwhile, Cameron Jerome today vowed to continue putting the team first.
The forward hasn't scored a Premier League goal in 19 starts but continued his efforts as a mainly lone patrol up front in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Wolves when Kevin Phillips was withdrawn after Craig Gardner's sending off.
Jerome has been a regular despite his tally of just three goals this season, which has sparked criticism from fans.
But he said: "The manager and the boys in the dressing room appreciate what I do, and, as for other people, that's up to them.
"My job is to do what I do for the team. I try to chip in with all sorts when I can."
