Rights Issue
Basics of Stock MarketAn offer to existing shareholders to buy new shares, usually below the market price, in proportion to their holding. It raises fresh capital for the company.
Why it matters
Unlike a bonus, a rights issue brings in cash and dilutes those who do not subscribe. Why the company needs the money matters more than the discount offered.
