You should get an email from HL telling you there's been a corporate action on one of your shares. You will then have the option to not take up the Rights Issue, or take it up in part, or take it up entirely, at 32pence per New share. They will be quoted separately while this is working itself out. When they finally go Ex-rights (ie, you no longer are allowed to buy any), the New shares will be merged into the Original shares. If any New shares don't get bought in the market by the existing share holders, they will get offered to (and, in my experience, normally completely hoovered up by) investment funds, pension funds, etc.
