The relatively rare occasions when a company issues new shares to raise cash - insurance companies have recently made rights issues to strengthen their balance sheets. The proceeds go directly into the company's bank account, instead of giving a profit (or a loss) to an existing shareholder. Shareholders do not like rights issues. By putting more shares on the market, a company dilutes the value of its existing shares. If you already hold shares in a company making a rights issue, this means that you will be offered more shares in the company at a discount to the prevailing price in the market.
