Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 69% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Professional clients can lose more than they deposit. All trading involves risk.
The value of shares, ETFs and ETCs bought through a share dealing account, a stocks and shares ISA or a SIPP can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Rights issue example
A company you have a long position on offers a rights issue, allowing you to buy five shares at 20p for every one share you already own. On the ex-date, your position is equivalent to owning ten shares.
We’ll open a new position worth 50 shares, leaving your original position unaffected. If you decide to take up the offer, you’ll get 50 new shares at a level of 20p per share.
I don't understand the part that "you will get 50 shares at 20p"
Does it mean I receive the underlying shares?
How do I sell these shares that i received?
