Rights issue holders are allowed to exercise their right to subscribe to new shares (in full or in part) up to the number of shares available in their portfolios. Trading in rights issue and subscription to new shares for registered shareholders and new investors will be as per the prospectus.

 

Unsubscribed shares, remaining and fractional shares, if any, will be offered to institutional investors, according to the prospectus. The underwriter will underwrite the rights if the subscription process is not fully covered. 

 

Investors not willing to subscribe must sell the rights issue during the specified trading period to avoid the resulting decline in the value of their investment portfolios as a result of not benefiting from their rights, whether by way of sale or subscription, the company said.
