United Capital Hosts Webinar on Rights Issues and Public Offers: A Recap

UCSL Webinar 2

On Wednesday, September 4, 2024, United Capital Securities hosted a webinar titled “Banking on the Future: Understanding Rights Issues and Public Offers”. The webinar aimed to educate investors on the complexities of rights issues and public offers, especially in light of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s directive for commercial banks to raise funds through a bank recapitalization program. The session provided a comprehensive overview of these financial instruments, their potential benefits, and the strategies investors can employ to maximize their opportunities.

 

It featured renowned experts in the  financial services industry such as Jude Chiemeka, CEO, Nigerian Exchange Ltd.(NGX); Bawo Oritsejafor, MD, United Capital Securities; Dr. Catherine Nwosu, MD/CEO, Africa Prudential Plc; Dr. Gbadebo Adenrele, MD, United Capital Investment Banking; Abideen Alade, Head Trader, United Capital Securities; and Ibiyinka Ibru, Founder, Moneystart as the Moderator.

The webinar covered an array of subtopics including:
  • The ongoing bank recapitalization program in Nigeria and its implications for the financial sector
  • The intricacies of rights issues and public offers
  • The roles of the Nigerian Exchange (NGX), registrars, issuing houses, and stockbrokers in the recapitalization exercise,
  • The broader implications of rights issues and public offers for investors and the financial market.
  • How to evaluate the investment opportunities in these offerings – the potential benefits and risks associated.
The webinar was well-attended and generated significant interest among participants. Attendees appreciated the opportunity to learn from industry experts and gain a better understanding of these complex financial instruments.
