RE:Dilution ou abus de langagePlease stop posting stupid information. If a current shareholder owns shares, that represents a fractional ownership of the company. If the company issues new shares and the existing shareholder does not buy some of the new shares, then their fractional ownership decreases - AKA they get diluted. This is basic math. As I said before, if they need to raise cash, issue a rights offering, which then allows current shareholders to buy some of those new shares so that their fractional ownership in the company remains constant. The only people able to buy these shares in a bought deal are clients of the underwriter. I still retain the right to be upset about this. My fractional ownership in this company has been reduced.
