What it means is, they will be issuing new shares soon. The rights issue which is given or sold to their shareholders basically gives the person who hold the 'rights' to actually buy the new shares at a discounted price.
From the statement, it says they are issuing 150 mil new shares. Thats about 100% increase in total shares. So just imagine the EPS is a cake, instead of 10 people sharing it, it will be 20 people sharing the same cake once the shares are issued.
So thats why the price looks kind of attractive because people have already taken the new shares into account and aren't going to pay more for the counter because it wouldn't be worth it once the new shares hit the market. Thats what I meant by the market being efficient.
