- Nóta With the issued rights, existing shareholders have the privilege to buy a specified number of new shares from the firm at a specified price within a specified time. A rights issue is in contrast to an initial public offering, where shares are issued to the general public through market exchanges. Closed-end companies cannot retain earnings, because they distribute essentially all of their realized income, and capital gains each year. They raise additional capital by rights offerings. Companies usually opt for a rights issue either when having problems raising capital through traditional means or to avoid interest charges on loans.
