Reliance Industries rights
issue opens:
RIL shares at
discount, get at only one-fourth the price
The rights issue,
biggest ever to enter the Indian equity markets, will remain open for eligible
investors for 14 days and is expected to see positive response despite the
troubled times that stock markets have seen in the past couple of months.
(RIL) share price zoomed 2% on the initial hour
of trade as the Rs 53,124 crore rights issue of the Mukesh Ambani-led
company opened on Wednesday morning. The rights issue, biggest ever to enter
the Indian equity markets, will remain open for eligible investors for 14 days
and is expected to see positive response despite the troubled times that stock
markets have seen in the past couple of months. RIL, India’s most valuable
company, is looking to cut its net-debt to zero by the end of this fiscal year
and is looking to aid that with the rights issue and the consecutive deals that
it has signed with global investors for its telecommunications arm, Jio
Platforms. Here’s all you need to know about the rights issue.
Eligibility and Price: To be able to subscribe to the rights issue, you must have
had at least 15 shares on the record date which was set as May 14. According to
RIL’s Board, the shares will be offered at 1:15 ratio, so having at least 15
shares is what makes you eligible for subscribing to the rights issue. The
shares are being offered at Rs 1,257 per share, translating to a 12% discount
from the current market price.
Payment structure: Interestingly, investors looking to subscribe to the
issue will not be asked to pay the entire amount in one go, which would have
been a difficult task at this juncture. RIL has asked investors to pay only 25%
at the time of subscription. Of the remaining 75%, investors have been asked to
pay 25% in May 2021 and the other 50% in November next year. As a promoter
and 50 percent shareholder, Mukesh Ambani will have to pump in 26,600 crores
for his portion of the rights issue
How to apply: Investors need to
consult their bank if they have the option, you can apply through them.
Otherwise, investors can apply through an ASBA (Applications Supported by
Blocked Amount). Other options include applying through a courier of the
Composite Application Form (CAF) from RTA (Registrar and Transfer Agent) of the
company.
My opinion: Investors must go for this for a Horizon
of two years at least
