Hi, could you please interpret this bonus fraction
Proof of bonus fraction
By taking the bonus fraction as 1.1, we are stating that the rights issue is the equivalent of a 1 for 10 bonus issue plus a full price issue for the remainder of the shares.
Considering an individual who held 40 shares before the rights issue, this would mean taking a bonus of 4 shares and paying the full price for 6 (taking his year end holding upto 50 shares as would be the case following the 1 for 4 rights issue). We will show that the share price under this alternative is the same as we calculated above and hence the two are equivalent.
