1. Rights issue

   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 can be a non-dilutive pro rata way to raise capital. Rights issues are typically sold via a prospectus or prospectus supplement. With the issued rights, existing security-holders have the privilege to buy a specified number of new securities from the issuer at a specified price within a subscription period. In a public company, a rights issue is a form of public offering (different from most other types of public offering, where shares are issued to the general public). Rights issues may be particularly useful for all publicly traded companies as opposed to other more dilutive financing options. As equity issues are generally preferable to debt issues from the company's viewpoint, companies usually opt for a rights issue in order to minimize dilution and maximize the useful life of tax loss carryforwards. Since in a rights offering there is no change of control and a "no-sale theory" applies, companies are able to preserve tax loss carry-forwards better than via either follow-on offerings or other more dilutive financings. It's one of the types in modes of issue of securities both in public and private companies.

1. rights issue

   A rights issue is a method by which publicly traded companies raise additional capital from existing shareholders. The company offers additional shares to existing shareholders at a discounted price, usually in proportion to the number of shares they already own. The shareholders then have the "right" to purchase the additional shares within a set time frame. This allows the company to raise money quickly without incurring additional debt.

1. Rights issue

   A rights issue is an issue of 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 way to raise capital under a seasoned equity offering. Rights issues are sometimes carried out as a shelf offering. With the issued rights, existing security-holders have the privilege to buy a specified number of new securities from the firm at a specified price within a specified time. In a public company, a rights issue is a form of public offering. Rights issues may be particularly useful for Closed-End Companies, which cannot retain earnings, because they distribute essentially all of their realized income and capital gains each year; therefore, they raise additional capital through rights offerings. As equity issues are generally preferable to debt issues from the company's viewpoint, companies usually opt for a rights issue when they have problems raising equity capital from the general public and choose to ask their existing shareholders to buy more shares.

   You want to wish Bruce the best. But at the same time, you wish it wasn't being played out for reality-TV entertainment, yes, it's great that we're educating people. But we're talking about a civil rights issue that keeps getting recast as entertainment.

4. Barbara Comstock:

   Democrat Terry McAuliffe went bigger at the issue -- and Democrat Terry McAuliffe was very active in Democrat Terry McAuliffe own kids' schools -- so I think the whole opportunity issue was where it really resonated, i hope it will be a sea change, because to me, it's education as a civil rights issue -- and we've all talked about it in those terms. But I think there's a moment here now where it's really resonating with a diverse group of people. The people who don't like this discussion, usually are White, wealthy, liberals and school administrator types who people have kind of had it with.

5. Sophie Marjanac:

   Climate change is inherently unequal : its impacts -- such as droughts, heatwaves flooding, and rising seas -- are felt most in those countries least responsible.
