Open offers for beginners
Article Abstract:
Companies may seek to raise funds through new issues of stocks, and offer stocks to institutional investors. Existing stockholders might also be made an offer of new stocks, without which their holdings could be diluted. Open offers are different from rights issues. Both are methods of raising new capital. Rights issues allow investors to sell their stocks entitlement, which they can benefit from financially, though they may not take it up. Investors have to pay for stocks in open offers, and are then able to sell the stocks.
