SEBI has made rights entitlements (REs) tradeable on the stock exchange. This means if you don&#8217;t want to subscribe to a rights issue, you don&#8217;t have to let your entitlement lapse you can sell it on the exchange and receive value for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How does it work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a rights issue opens, your entitlement is credited to your DEMAT account as a temporary instrument &#8211; the Rights Entitlement (RE). This RE can be bought and sold on the exchange during the trading window, just like a regular share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you sell your RE, the buyer can use it to apply for the rights shares at the offer price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What if you want to subscribe to more than your entitlement?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can buy additional REs from the market and apply for more rights shares than your original entitlement allows \u2014 subject to the company&#8217;s terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What happens to unsold or unexercised REs?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the RE is neither subscribed nor sold before the deadline, it lapses automatically. Once the trading and subscription window closes, the RE has no value.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":65,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"ht_kb_category":[2863],"ht_kb_tag":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb\/26337"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ht_kb"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/65"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26337"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb\/26337\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26339,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb\/26337\/revisions\/26339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"ht_kb_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb_category?post=26337"},{"taxonomy":"ht_kb_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb_tag?post=26337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
