    TCOM – The company has 5 million $0.25 ordinary shares and $20m loan capital. The BOD of TCOM has decided to reduce the burden of debt by raising $10m through a rights issue and then using the amount raised to redeem some of the loan capital.

    Profits after tax were $6m and the board expects to achieve 20% increase in this figure in the forthcoming yearm assuming the rights issue is successful and operational targets are met. The Board has committed the company to a dividend pay out ratio 25% for future years and belives the dividend growth will be 4% per annum for the indefinate future.

    The board believes that the rights shares should be issued at a 40% discount to the current market value.

    Shareholders have a required rate of retun of 10%

    Calculate the total Market value of shares, using the dividend forecast, assuming successful rights issu is made

    (I did the following $6m*0.20 = $7.2m*0.25 = $1,800,000 = dividend pay out.
    Then for the total market value
    $1,800,000*1.04 = £1,872,000/(0.10-0.04) = $31,200,000 = Total market value)

    Calculate the price at which a rights share in TCOM should be issued
    (I did the following $31,200,000 – $10,000,000 = $21,200,000/5m shares = $4.24 per MV Share to be issued)

    Calculate the number of rights shares that should be issued to raise finance required
    (I did the following $4.24*0.40 = $1.696
    $10,000,000/$1.696 = 5,896,226 right shares to be issued)

    Please could someone advise if I am on the right path as I feel I have done this totally wrong.
    Any help is really appreciated

    Thanks,
    Shelley

    hey shelley,
    Well have tried to do the calculations as follows.
    Profit after tax is $6m
    Dividend payout ratio is 25%
    Current year’s dividend=$6m*25%=$1.5m
    Growth is 4%
    Using dividend valuation model
    Mv=Do(1+g)/ke-g
    Do is the current year’s dividend which is $1.5m
    G is 4%
    So mv=$1.5(1+04)/(0.10-0.04)=$26m
    So market value per share is $5.20

    Rights issue price will be $5.20*60%=$3.12

    Since funds raised from rights issue is $10m, then number of additional shares issued through rights issue is 3205128.
    Hope this will make sense
