Annexure – 1

 

Underlying close price on the last cum date (P): 26.10#

Issue price of the rights (S)     : 22

 

Adjustment factor:

 

Number of Existing shares        =   100

Rights Entitlement

(Rights to subscribe)                 =   121

Total Entitlement                      =   221

 

Benefit per Right Entitlement

= (P – S) x Rights Entitlement

= (26.10 – 22) x 121 = Rs.496.10

 

Benefits per share (E)

= (496.10 / 221) = 2.2447

 

Hence, Adjustment Factor is

= (P-E)/P

= (26.10-2.2447) / 26.10

 

= 0.913992
