Additonal securities listing. So more shares divided by current market cap = lower share price

Can someone please explain : Terms of the rights offer are that shareholders will be offered two shares for every one held at a price of R2.41 requiring an outlay of R4.82 per share held if they do not wish to be diluted.

Although a shock, this is old news. Refer to SENS 07/04 AND 15/04. They are issuing shares to cover approx 58% of the $300mil convertible bonds due next year. Some pertinent points from the rights offer is "976,206,906 new common shares to be issued", "A$0.25, 14 pence, or ZAR 2.41 per Rights Issue Shares(depending upon the register on which the shareholder holds its common shares)" and "Ratio in which the securities will be offered- 2 Rights Issue Shares for every 1 fully paid common share held". A final decision will be taken on 15May as I understand it.Typical of AQP management, they are being pro-active in dealing with the debt issue now rather than wait till next year although there is still a further $128mil bonds too deal with and I don't quite understand why they made the rights offer so cheap. Either way, as Simon says. when the NIL's get issued act right away. I hope this helps.

As I understand it FEK, for every one share you hold, you will be offered a furthr 2 shares. So, if you follow your rights, you will end up with 3 shares i.e R4.82 + (what you paid for the 1 share lets say R7.50) i.a.w. R4.11 each.

Can one expect a good buying opportunity in 3 days time ("3 day rule") or is it not applicable to this situation?

i.m.o not applicable since valuation has not changed. What annoys me is that their were 2 full trading days since the announcement yet did not see the shorting opportunity. Hands up anyone who did?

But what are the implications of the rights offer on your short?

short wouldn't have worked as you would have to deliver the NPLs to the market you sold to
