Rights issue benefit.9 Dec 2022 15:00
My reading of the rights issue is that it will be possible to obtain additional shares at $1.05 being the likely lower figure at the time of the rights issue.This must mean taking into account the current SP that an immediate profit will be achieved so offsetting any current losses people will have at the time of the rights issue however many others will be thinking the same & then selling so brining the SP dow.People correct me if I am wrong.So in summary it may be worth taking up the Rights issue next January.
