sir I’m a bit confuse
the sale of rightssuppose vita has the rights of 500 new shares (1 for 4 out of 2000 existing) at $3
current market price $5
so TERP = $ 4.60
If I want to buy 3000 shares of that co, I can buy it at $4.60 = paying $13,800
or I can buy 500 shares from vita (if she sell her rights) at $ 1.60 (value of rights) and have the right of buying them at $3 AND the other 2500 shares at $4.60 based on new MV = so paying in total $13,900
why on earth would I bother the second option? if I’m benefiting from buying directly from S.E at $4.60 gaining $100 instead doing all that round in second option above
May 13, 2015 at 7:12 am #245636You have calculated the payment for the second of your two options wrongly.
Buying rights from Vita etc., adds up to $13,800 – not $13,900!! Check your arithmetic again 🙂
In theory, the end result will be the same whatever we do.
May 13, 2015 at 7:36 am #245639please explain your calcultion sir
i did 500 shares * $1.60 = 800 * $3 = $2400
+
2500 * $4.60
total 13900$May 13, 2015 at 11:33 am #245678Why do you have 800 x $3?
If you buy 500 rights from Vita (you do not buy shares from her, you buy rights) then you have the right to buy 500 shares (not 800)!!
