Companies most commonly issue a rights offering to raise additional capital. A company may need extra capital to meet its current financial obligations. Troubled companies typically use rights issues to pay down debt, especially when they are unable to borrow more money.
However, not all companies that pursue rights offerings are in financial trouble. Even companies with clean balance sheets may use rights issues. These issues might be a way to raise extra capital to fund expenditures designed to expand the company's business, such as acquisitions or opening new facilities for manufacturing or sales. If the company is using the extra capital to fund expansion, it can eventually lead to increased capital gains for shareholders despite the dilution of the outstanding shares as a result of the rights offering.

Thank you for the above effort.
if, author would add the quantum of the valid r.i. accepted rate compared to before r.i. nosh will have better feel on the r.i. dilution .
Penny counters (usually refer those below 0.200 per shares) are definitely not wonderland but a purging place of hell .
