What it is
Korean rights offerings are classified by who receives the new shares: existing shareholders, the general public, or designated third parties. A third-party allotment issues shares only to named individuals, companies or investment partnerships, and requires a basis in the articles of incorporation and a business purpose.
Why companies use it
It raises money quickly from chosen investors and can bring in a strategic partner or change the largest shareholder. The allowed discount to market price is smaller than for shareholder allotments.
What to keep in mind
Check the dilution (new shares as a percentage of existing shares), who the allottees are, and whether the payment date keeps being postponed. Repeated placements to opaque investment partnerships are a warning sign. Allotted shares are usually locked up for a year.
