Cum Rights A situation in which the shares held by holders of record are qualified for a rights offering declared by a company. Investopedia Says: Shares that are trading cum-rights can be sold to another individual with the rights attached. This is the opposite of ex-rights, which do not allow the transfer of rights from an old shareholder to a new shareholder during the two business days prior to the record date.
The price of a stock with cum rights is normally higher than that of a stock with ex-rights. Related Terms: Ex-Rights Holder of Record Record Date Right Rights Offering Shares |
