I am not sure this is correct mate. If it was a Rights offer, then you get the right to buy the additional shares, but not the obligation. The rights can be sold on to others who wish to take advantage of the offer, and hence each right has a value. A shareholder can take up all, some or none of the rights on offer.
However this is an Open offer. and operates in a very similar way to a rights issue. However, although you are entitled to buy more shares, you cannot sell on this entitlement like you can with a rights issue. Similarly, if you let an open offer lapse, you won’t receive any cash.
