Wealth Management Terms

1.  Rights Issue: https://g.co/kgs/SvDstx  Good to raise capital. A rights issue or rights offer is a dividend of subscription rights to buy additional securities in a company made to the company's existing security holders. When the rights are for equity securities, such as shares, in a public company, it is a non-dilutive pro-rata way to raise capital.
2. Scrip Only Dividend: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrip_issue The company issuing the scrip shares has now expanded the number of shares in existence, but not increased the value of the company
3. Open Offer: An open offer is a secondary market offering, similar to a rights issue. In an open offer, a shareholder is allowed to purchase stock at a price that is lower than the current market price. The purpose of such an offer is to raise cash for the company efficiently. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/openoffer.asp#:~:text=An%20open%20offer%20is%20a,cash%20for%20the%20company%20efficiently.
