Bryon Bothun, I wrote: "The key difference between these two approaches is clear. In the first case the new money to support Osicom comes form new investors, while in the second case it comes from the existing shareholders. To get a sense what does every one feels about this scheme, all you have to do is watch the stock action." What do you think is the main reason behind going with the rights offering instead of normal IPO? You wrote" "From just a quick internet search it appears that several hundred of these rights offerings have taken place in the last couple of years by various (and well respected) companies." Are the numbers of companies going the Rights Offering rout is larger than the those choosing the normal IPO method during the same period? Any percentages for each type? Regards, Afaq Sarwar
