Currently the nil paid are out of sync with the fully paid share price, this should even out. As to whether people choose to dump the np remains to be seen, it's obviously all depends on the share price at the time the np expire. If by some chance the share price climbs between now and then, buyers may feel there is something to be gained by taking up the offer.
Nil paid shares are trading well above the gap between its price and the fully paid price. Some may think it's a good time to sell, that premium may well disappear.

So am I right in thinking that we're being asked to buy the shares at 275p each but if we tick the option to sell them we might only get 21p each ? In that case, why on earth would anyone buy them ?Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

Ok thanks. So (simple answer please!) if I sell my right, how much realistically will I get per share ?Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0

The close price on Friday for HBOS nil paid rights (HBON) was 13.5p (each).!!!!!!_here wrote: »Ok thanks. So (simple answer please!) if I sell my right, how much realistically will I get per share ?
This obviously is subject to change.
I believe HBOS are offering a free dealing service, I'm not sure if this gives you the option to sell the np before the expiry date. If you decide not to take up your rights, you will get the prevailing price on expiry of the np.
The question is, do you feel HBOS will rise or fall between now and then?0 -

forget Martin, isn't obvious by now? The share price plunges by 75% and you're seriously considering giving the board even more money to waste? PleaseKrusty & Phil Madoff, 1990 - 2007:
