Cevap

The preemptive right allows existing common shareholders to purchase a proportional number of newly issued shares before they are offered to the public, preserving their ownership percentage.
Preemptive rights give existing common shareholders the privilege to purchase a proportion of newly issued shares before they are offered to the public, ensuring their voting power and percentage of ownership remain undiluted.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the investor's objective in the scenario.
The investor wants to maintain their exact proportional ownership percentage and prevent dilution when new shares are issued.
Issuing additional common shares increases the total share count, which dilutes existing shareholders' percentage ownership unless they purchase additional shares.
2
Match the goal to the appropriate common stock right.
The preemptive right directly addresses this anti-dilution requirement.
Preemptive rights grant current shareholders the first opportunity to buy newly issued equity shares in proportion to their current holdings.
