timing of rights issue28 Jun 2021 15:25
September looks to be the best time for RI. At this point they will know how summer business went or did not happen, also any goverment support to see if furlough is extended.
To issue a rights issue, a company needs to know how much to ask the shareholders, by September they will know. The money from Rights issue will then carry them through the winter.
Last year this was done in September with money from shareholders in the bank by October.
