Operation blanche

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An opération blanche is a special strategy for exercising subscription rights in the context of capital increases . With this strategy, the shareholder can acquire new shares in a company without having to make an additional payment.

execution

The shareholder sells so many subscription rights that he can use the proceeds to exercise the remaining subscription rights and thus receive new shares without further capital investment.

The use of an opération blanche reduces the share of the individual shareholder in the share capital of a stock corporation - in contrast to exercising all subscription rights to which he is entitled. His absolute share (number of shares) increases because he has bought additional shares. The total value of the shares then owned by the shareholder may be higher or lower than before the subscription rights were sold and the subscription rights were exercised, depending on how the share price develops.

Formulas

Calculation of the subscription rights to be sold

n * = Number of subscription rights to be sold
m = Number of shares owned by the shareholder (= number of subscription rights that the shareholder receives for his shares)
j = Number of new shares from the subscription ratio a / j
E. = Issue price
a = Number of old shares from the subscription ratio a / j
WB = Value of a subscription right

Subscription right

Calculation of the new shares to be bought

ABR = Number of subscription rights = is identical to m, provided that an old share = 1 subscription right
WB = Value of a subscription right
BV = Subscription ratio = a / j
