WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS REGARDING THESE RIGHTS SHARES?

1. Accept the Rights Shares

Rights Acceptance Period: 19 Aug - 02 Sep 2020

  • This is also known as subscribing or taking up the Rights Shares.
  • For this, you will need to fork out money to accept the Rights Shares.
  • You can calculate your breakeven price if you accept all the Rights Shares (see below).
  • You may also apply for Excess Rights Shares if you wish to (see below).
  • After this Rights issue, you will have more Sembcorp Marine shares (ie. original quantity + subscribed rights shares).
  • Please find acceptance steps below under Part I: How To Accept Your Rights Shares.


2. Sell off the Rights Shares

Rights Trading Period: 19 - 27 Aug 2020

  • The Rights Shares are renounceable (ie. you can sell them off you don't wish to take up the rights shares).
  • For this, you will get back some money if you are able to sell at good price.
  • Generally, the rights trading price is the difference between Sembcorp Marine price and rights price ($0.20). For example, if Sembcorp Marine price is $0.23, the rights will usually trade around $0.03.
  • Based on past Right issues, the first few days usually command better prices.
  • The Rights Shares are your entitlement and have value. Even if you do not wish to fork out money to subscribe, there is some value to be taken back during the rights trading period, so do not miss it!
  • Please see trading steps below under Part II: How To Sell Off your Rights Shares.


HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR BREAKEVEN PRICE IF YOU ACCEPT

Let's say you previously bought Sembcorp Marine shares at $1.20 per share and you decide to subscribe to all the rights, ie. buy 5 Rights Shares @ $0.20 per share, which means you fork out total $1.00.
 
Your average breakeven price will become:

($1.20 + $1.00) / 6 shares = $0.36667 per share
 
You can see that taking up the rights will lower your breakeven price quite substantially. 
The next step is to establish on whether you want to take up the rights to lower your price and await for Sembcorp Marine mother share price to appreciate (which may or may not happen, it's a call that you have to make).  
 

EXCESS RIGHTS

You may apply for Excess Rights Shares (ie. more than the amount that you are offered).
Excess Rights Shares are not guaranteed.
Offered (allotted) Rights Shares are guaranteed.

If there are insufficient Excess Rights Shares to satisfy all valid excess applications by shareholders, the basis of allocation will be determined by Sembcorp Marine.
