Abstract

This case describes the rights offering by Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited (CSM) in 2002, which was largely judged to be a failure, despite the company receiving the full planned proceeds. The case takes the reader through the rights offering process, and details the 'hiccups' arising from adverse market conditions as well as process mismanagement. It also allows the reader to use actual data provided by several top broker research analysts to conduct a valuation exercise. Other questions addressed include: Does price matter in a rights offering? Are investors rational? How does one gauge the value of a project?
