Introduction

Compuage Infocom Ltd. is a small cap company with a market cap of ₹150.42 cr that is about to issue rights entitlement shares in the ratio of 8:25 to its shareholders. 

Let us begin by understanding what a rights issue is.

What is a rights issue

A rights issue is conducted by a company trying to raise capital from shareholders whereby it allows its existing shareholders to buy additional shares  at a discounted price. As a result of the rights issue, the total price of the shares of the company comes down. Though the number of additional shares that can be bought is limited on a pro-rata basis – e.g. in this case, only 8 shares can be bought by shareholders for every 25 shares they hold on the record date. The shareholders may also choose to not buy any additional shares at all.

Eligibility of the rights issue 

Rights issues are issued in the primary market but unlike IPO or FPO, they are open to be bought by only the existing shareholders. The shares become ex-rights one day before the record date because it takes T+2 days to deliver the shares to the investor’s demat account. Therefore, in order to participate in the rights issue, the shareholder must have bought the shares at least two days before the record date. 

Important details of the rights issue

With the rights issue, its equity shares are going to increase in number from 6.49 cr to 8.57 cr. The BSE Ltd. will act as the designated stock exchange for the rights issue. The issue price is going to be ₹20 per share while it closed at ₹24.50 on 15th November, 2022 after gaining 7.46% on a single day.
