Q: Happy New Year to you all. I have held a small position of "Eastern Platinum" for many year. Recently received a note that "The Toronto Stock Exchange reports that Eastern Platinum Ltd. will issue one right per share held on Dec. 18, 2020, with each right entitling the holder to buy one share for 32 cents per share. According to the TSX, the rights will begin trading at the open on Dec. 17, 2020, under the symbol ELR.RT and Cusip No. 276855 14 5. The shares will trade ex rights at the same time.
The TSX reports that trading in the rights will end at 12 p.m. Toronto time on Jan. 22, 2021. The rights will expire at 2 p.m. Vancouver time on Jan. 22, 2021, and will be delisted at the close on the same day. Trades in the rights on Jan. 20, 2021, will settle on Jan. 21, 2021, trades on Jan. 21, 2021, will settle on Jan. 22, 2021, and trades from the open to 12 p.m. Toronto time on Jan. 22, 2021, will settle on the same day.
For more information, see the company's rights offering circular and rights offering notice, each dated Dec. 11, 2020, available on SEDAR."
What should I do about it? I only have 100 shares so if I sell "elr.rt" today, the profit won't even cover the commission (TD waterhouse $9.99). Is that the way the company to rise money? The share closed at 0.39 today. If I take the offer, will the share price go up (above 0.32/per share) after Jan 22, 2021? Thanks.
