Rights Offering
offering of common stock to existing shareholders who hold rights that entitle them to buy newly issued shares at a discount from the price at which shares will later be offered to the public. Rights offerings are usually handled by investment bankers under what is called a standby commitment, whereby the investment bankers agree to purchase any shares not subscribed to by the holders of rights.
