RE: IAG RI - WHAT HAPPENED.8 Oct 2020 12:04
Alexios, After the RI, each share is an entirely different entity. Its price recalculated, and with a new life. The old shares in its current form will no longer exist.
So yes, The short of today's share at 160p will become multiple shares of lesser value per share, but in their entirety aggregated to the same short monitory value. So yes, Ratty will endup with 13 short shares at 60p, instead of say 3 shorts of 160p. His short monitory value remains the same.
But somehow I feel he think his current 3 short shares will suddenly become worth 60p on the morning of the Rights Issue.
That is so wrong
