Announcements

The Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited recently took the decision to raise funding through its Rights Issue, after the proposal was approved by the Board of Directors. The ongoing rights issue will be open for subscription from 8th July, 2020 to 22nd July, 2020 and here’s everything you need to know about it.

Understanding what a rights issue is

A company may resort to various means of raising capital while pursuing expansion goals, attempting to achieve a debt-free status or building new assets. One such means is a rights issue. This involves offering existing shareholders the chance to subscribe to an additional amount of shares at a discounted price. The proportion of the number of shares issued to each existing shareholder varies based on their present holdings.  In the case of Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited’s Rights Issue, the proportion issued is 9:77. This means, if you currently hold 77 shares of Aditya Birla fashion and Retail Industries Limited, you are eligible to bid for 9 shares in the ongoing rights issue. In case you are an existing shareholder, eligible to subscribe to the right issue, you can choose to subscribe to or relinquish the rights. Additionally, as a third option you can also sell these rights, once they are credited to your account, to another investor just as you sell other holdings. You can add Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited to your watchlist on the Upstox Platform by searching for ‘ABFRL’
