What is a rights issue?
A rights issue is a method by which a company gives its existing shareholders the option to buy more shares at a discount. This helps the company to raise capital by allowing it to maintain its ownership percentage.
Shareholders get rights, which are generally referred to as rights entitlements or REs, to buy new shares. This is usually in proportion to their current holdings.
