RE: Short23 Oct 2020 20:19
Hello Everyone, I'm not from this BB but I have a short position on RR. I have noticed there are alot of confusion on the matter so I have copy paste a useful information from IG platform. I must admit, i'm still not 100% clear on the topic but this may help:
"What if I have a short position, what happens to my position and what are my options?
As you are short you will have two options. The first is to trade out of the rights before the IG deadline date to close the position. The second is to do nothing and risk your position being taken up automatically depending on the result of the offer.
Doing nothing could mean having the rights removed around the pay date and potentially having a new short position in Rolls Royce booked at the subscription price."
