Rights Offering

Rights Offering

A Rights Offering (also known as a rights issue) is a type of securities offering in which a company provides its existing shareholders with the opportunity to purchase additional shares of the company's stock at a discounted price. The purpose of a rights offering is to raise capital for the company, while also providing existing shareholders with the opportunity to maintain their proportionate ownership stake in the company.
There are several types of rights offerings, including: -
1- Basic rights issue: - This is the most common type of rights offering, in which shareholders are granted a certain number of rights for each share they own. These rights can then be exercised to purchase additional shares at a discounted price.
2- Full subscription rights issue: - In this type of rights offering, shareholders are granted enough rights to purchase all of the additional shares being offered.
3- Preferential rights issue: - In this type of rights offering, shareholders are granted preferential treatment and are allowed to purchase additional shares before they are made available to the general public.
Pros of rights offerings: -
  • They allow a company to raise capital without diluting the ownership stakes of its existing shareholders.
  • They provide existing shareholders with the opportunity to maintain their proportionate ownership in the company.
  • They can be a less expensive way for a company to raise capital compared to other options such as debt financing or issuing new shares to the general public.
Cons of rights offerings: -
  • They can be complex and time-consuming to execute.
  • They may not be suitable for all companies, particularly those with a large number of small shareholders.
  • They may be less successful if shareholders do not have the financial resources or inclination to purchase additional shares.
