ISSUE OF SHARES THROUGH RIGHT ISSUE

DEFINITIONOF RIGHT ISSUE

Right Issue’ means offering shares to existing members in proportion to their existing shareholding. The object is, of course, to ensure equitable distribution of Shares and the proportion of voting rights is not affected by issue of Fresh shares.

A rights issue is an invitation to existing shareholders to purchase additional new shares in the company. This type of issue gives existing shareholders securities called rights. With the rights, the shareholder can purchase new shares at a discount to the market price on a stated future date.

Section 62 of the Companies Act, 2013, deals with further issue of capital and prescribes the principle of pre-emptive right of shareholders to subscribe to the rights shares. Shares offered to the existing shareholders are called 'right shares'. The issue of the letter of offer accompanied by the application form indicating there in the number of shares offered for subscription is an offer from the company making the

FEATURES of Right Issue:-

  • Companies undertake a rights issue when they need cash for various objectives. The process allows the company to raise money without incurring underwriting fees.
  • A rights issue gives preferential treatment to existing shareholders, where they are given the right (not obligation) to purchase shares at a lower price on or before a specified date.
  • Existing shareholders also enjoy the right to trade with other interested market participants until the date at which the new shares can be purchased. The rights are traded in a similar way as normal equity shares.
  • The number of additional shares that can be purchased by the shareholders is usually in proportion to their existing shareholding.
  • Existing shareholders can also choose to ignore the rights; however, if they do not purchase additional shares, then their existing shareholding will be diluted post issue of additional shares.

Reasons for a Rights Issue:-

  • When a company is planning an expansion of its operations, it may require a huge amount of capital. Instead of opting for debt, they may like to go for equity to avoid fixed payments of interest. To raise equity capital, a rights issue may be a faster way to achieve the objective.
  • A project where debt/loan funding may not be available/suitable or expensive usually makes a company raise capital through a rights issue.
  • Companies looking to improve their debt to equity ratio or looking to buy a new company may opt for funding via the same route.
  • Sometimes troubled companies may issue shares to pay off debt in order to improve their financial health.

Checking points:-

·         That every unlisted public company making any offer for issue of any securities, before making such offer has dematerialized of its securities held by its promoters, directors, key managerial personnel in accordance with provisions of the Depositories Act, 1996 and regulations made thereunder.

·         That any person who subscribes any securities has dematerialized his all existing securities of the company before such subscription.

·         Whether the authorized share capital is sufficient for issue of shares through right issue and if authorized capital is not enough, then first alter the capital clause of the memorandum of association of the company.

·         Whether articles of association authorise for issue of shares through right issue and if not, then first alter the articles of association to include provisions for issue of shares through right issue.

·         That shares are offered to persons, who at the date of the offer, are equity shareholders of the Company, in proportion to the paid-up share capital on those shares.
