Hmmm.... i was not aware that there was an extra 17.5 sen. I mean lets just say I own 1000 shares of AmFirst. So that would entitle me to 600 rights. I just assumed i could buy the 600 rights for 0.83 which is RM498 + some brokarage cost.
Just to check my understanding, if I were to apply for more rights than i was allotted, i would have to pay the AmFirst-TR price of 17.5 sen a share? But the 600 shares allotted to me are free of that 17.5 sen?
If i sell my 600 rights, im guessing im selling it at that 17.5 sen value
Yes, but prior before the ex-right, Amfirst is trading at 1.13, not 1.02 as today.
After ex-right issue, market price for Amfirst being adjusted to 1.02.
The 600 -TR is free for you, actually it is not "free", as share price was adjusted on ex-right day as above mentioned.
You could buy the 600 share at Rm0.83, there is no brokerage fee incurred in getting the right share, apart from banker cheque and postage of the form.
If not, one can sell at market price today at 17.5 cents.
For applying excess right issue, you do not need to pay 17.5 cents. It is free.
So who getting or granted the excess, will gain 19 cent (1.02-0.83).
So can try your luck.
Excess share normally is not easy to get.
Unless got a lot of -TR holder do not exercise the right issue. (which is totally not wise to at current discrepancy between market price vs 0.83)
