First post to this board, thought I'd have a mooch since the company I work for has clients wondering about the financial strength of EasyJet.
To clarify, the record date is the date the company goes through its record of shareholders to see who is a valid holder of the shares. The ex-date is the date that draws the line on who is eligible to participate in the event, and who is it not. If you hold shares after the ex date, you qualify, if you sold your holding before the ex-date, you do not qualify. Simple.
Rights Issue, it seems to me that the company is raising funds in order to survive, this is why the price is sinking as its very much highlighting the companies own thoughts on its survival, especially if they are offering a what was a deep discount at announcement date. It smells of desperation.
