A rights offering is a type of public offering in which a corporation sells new stock to its existing shareholders. It allows current shareholders to purchase additional shares at a discounted price before they are offered to the public. This offering provides current shareholders with the opportunity to maintain their proportional ownership of the company while raising additional capital for the corporation.
