RE: Rights Issue13 Mar 2026 14:51
Apologies, I was doing something else when I had started to explain, and your question came in the meantime. Yes, in theory 2p, but in reality a bit less, so unlikely to be beneficial.
You can also often buy the rights for a period, which is riskier but also potentially more lucrative - e.g. buy the right for 2p a share in your example and if the normal SP goes up 10p, the value of your right increases five fold or something near to that, to 10/12p as it is worth approximately the difference between a fully paid share and one that needs 43p more paid before it becomes a full share. It becomes leveraged for a short period until you have to elect to subscribe or otherwise let the rights expire.
