Rights Issue Example - YRU Corp currently has 9 million shares outstanding. The market price is $15/sh. YRU decides to raise additional funds via a 1 for 3 rights offer at $12 per share. If we assume 100% subscription, what is the value of each right? • Current Market Value = 9 mil x $15 = $135 mil • Total Shares = 9 mil + 3 mil = 12 mil • Amount of new funds = 3 mil x $12 = $36 mil • New Share Price = (135 + 36) / 12 = $14.25/sh • Value of a Right = 15 - 14.25 = $0.75
