Other things to note
  • As of writing, EUR-to-SGD ratio is approximately 1.56. This translates to SGD 0.582 per unit for the rights issue.
  • Counter is trading XR and has last traded at EUR 0.445 thus far.
  • Fun fact: For an investor whose portfolio only included units from subscription to the IPO (about EUR 0.555 and EUR-to-SGD of about 1.609 at that time), he or she has to subscribe 153 rights units for every 100 to breakeven in capital based on current price (not for quick punt from my observation).
    • This has yet to factor in any commission charge or forex gain/loss.
    • This will cost more if the investor has decided to purchase more rights so as to guarantee  his rights subscription.
