Company law - good practice - listed companies - pre-emption rights - UK - Pre-Emption Group.
Pre-emption rights give existing shareholders in a company the right to subscribe for their pro rata share of any new shares in that company issued for cash.
Pre-emption rights provide existing shareholders with protection against dilution of their investments.
In this context, the Statement of Principles published by the UK's Pre-Emption Group seeks to provide clarity on the circumstances in which a degree of flexibility might be appropriate, and the factors to be taken into account.
