A Renounceable Rights Issue lets shareholders buy new shares at a discount or sell their rights to others, offering flexibility and potential financial benefit.
A Renounceable Rights Issue allows shareholders to either exercise their right to purchase new shares at a discounted price or sell (renounce) their rights to other investors. This is different from a non-renounceable rights issue, where shareholders can only exercise their rights and cannot transfer them.
In a renounceable rights issue, shareholders are given the flexibility to sell their rights if they do not wish to purchase the new shares, enabling them to potentially benefit from the market value of the rights. This type of offering is often used to attract more participation in the rights issue, as shareholders can choose the option most beneficial to them.
Example: A company offers one new share for every five shares held at ₹100 per share. A shareholder with 100 shares can either purchase 20 new shares or sell the rights to another investor.
