share price 4 per share
1 for 5 right issue cost 3.10
what % of the right after shareholder does the shareholder need to take up so as to not net cashflow resulting from the issue? plz solve
The TERP is $3.85 per share
For there to be no cash flow effect, the total value of the shares after the rights issue must be equal to the total value before the rights issue.
So…if they had (say) 1000 shares before the rights issue, they would have been worth $4000. To be worth $4000 after the rights issue, then they must then own 4000 / 3.85 = 1039 shares.
So they must have taken up 39 of the 200 shares they were entitled to, which is 39/200 = 19.5%.
(Choose any number of shares – the answer will end up the same)
