Prior to a decision on a new rights issue, the Board shall prepare a proposal. The decision is then made either by the shareholders at a general meeting or by the Board with the support of an authorization from a general meeting. Shares can be issued either with or without a preferential right for existing shareholders. The Board may motivate a directed issue if they believe it is in the company’s best interest that the ownership is supplemented with one or more key investors. Directed issues cause a dilution of the remaining shareholders, therefore certain majority requirements apply.<\/p>\n

There are also other types of issues such as bonus issues and non-cash issues. With a bonus issue no new shares are issued. In a non-cash issue, the shares are paid for with assets, not cash, such as other shares, real estate or intellectual property rights.<\/p>\n
