Explanation / Answer

Ex-rights number of shares (N) = Old shares outstanding/New shares outstanding

Ex Right Price per share $95.00 Current price per share $102.00 outstanding Shares 24 Million Total Right offer raised $60.00 Million Number of new shares = amount Raised/ Subscription price Number of new shares = $60,000,000/SP

Ex-rights number of shares (N) = Old shares outstanding/New shares outstanding

N = 24/($60/SP) $0.4000 N =0 .40SP Ex-rights stock price= ( N x Current Market Price + Subscription price)/(Ex right number of shares +1) solving for the subscription price, we get: $95 = (N x 102 + SP)/(N +1) $95 = (0.40SPx102 + SP)/(0.40SP + 1) $95 = (40.80SP + SP)/(.40SP + 1) $95 = $41.80SP/(1+ 0.40SP) $95 + 38SP = $41.80SP SP= $95/($41.80 - 38) = $25 Subscription price = $25
