IHTM34187 - Changes in shareholdings: rights issue


If a rights issue is declared in respect of a ‘qualifying investment’ ( IHTM34131) the ‘appropriate person’ ( IHTM34161) may

  • sell the rights ( IHTM34188)
  • take up and sell the allotted shares ( IHTM34189)
  • neither take up nor sell the rights ( IHTM34190)
  • dispose of the rights without consideration ( IHTM34191), or
  • sell part of the rights and accept the balance ( IHTM34192) of the shares.

The impact on the calculation of the loss will depend on what option the appropriate person takes.
