Rights Issues of Shares
Any subsequent issue of shares against consideration is rights issue. A rights issue of
shares is the simples and most economical way of raising finance. It is an issue of share
in which the existing shareholders have an anticipatory right to subscribe for the new
shares. In a rights issue, a warrant is sent to the existing shareholders, which entails
them to take up a specified number of shares at a specified price. The price of the
shares so offered is higher than the face value but below the market price to make the
offer fascinating.
An existing share holder who does not wish to exercise any or all of the rights is at
liberty to sell them to third parties who can purchase such shares at the same offer
price.
Accounting entries to record the rights issue of share is exactly the same as those we
have already learned to pass when share are issued at premium.

gave him 4% of the voting rights in the company. The 1 for 4 rights issue gives him

shares out of 100,000 shares, which is again 4%.

consideration. In bonus issue of share a part of company's reserves are reclassified as
share capital. This is also known as capitalization of reserves or scrip issue.
There are a number of reasons for issue of bonus shares.

between a larger numbers of shareholders. This is useful when a company
wants to bring in news shareholder.

sheet. This is useful if a company has grown rapidly, and the share capital is
out of proportion to the net assets of the entity.

and encourages more people to buy shares. This is the most common reason for
