20 May 2026 To raise funds, Rights Issue is the simplest method if dealing only with current shareholders, while Private Placement is required for new investors. A rights issue avoids mandatory valuation reports and complex filing prerequisites required by private placement, making it generally more practical for internal fundraising. If these options are too complex, simple debt (loans) is an alternative, but it does not provide permanent equity capital.
