· As you are short you will have two options. The first is to trade out (buy back) of the rights before the IG deadline date to close the position. The second is to do nothing and risk your position being taken up automatically depending on the result of the offer. Doing nothing could mean having the rights removed around the pay date and potentially having a new short position in the stock booked at the subscription price.
12. I have a guaranteed stop on my position, what happens to my position?
· If you hold a position with a guaranteed stop on the close of business the day before ex-date, this means the morning of Ex-date pre-market we will amend your position to automatically take up the rights or offer on your behalf. The stop, level and size will be amended to keep the monetary risk the same as pre event. This procedure will usually take place if the offer is in the money on ex-date, otherwise no action will be taken. There is nothing else for you to action on this event.
13. I have a non guaranteed stop and limit on my position, what happens to them?
· Any non guaranteed stops or limits are amended accordingly by the terms of the event to take onboard the dilution of the price in the underlying stock.
