hi hi..i am an existing shareholder and this is the first time i encounter the rights issue.
understand there is a deadline for 20 august, what do i need to do meantime? I did not receive any documents after the call for EGM documents? appreciate fellow buddies advice.

the rights are renounceable - meaning that you will be issued rights that you can sell away on the market if you choose not to exercise them.

Entitled Scripholders whose Stock Units are registered in their own names in the Register of Members
of the Company as at 5.00 p.m. on the Books Closure Date will be provisionally allotted the Rights
Shares under the Rights Issue on the basis of the number of Stock Units held by them as stated in the
Register of Members of the Company as at 5.00 p.m. on the Books Closure Date, fractional
entitlements, if any, to be disregarded.

If you currently hold UE shares and wish to receive the rights, then there is nothing you need to do. After XR, you will be credited the rights and you can then choose to sell them away or to exercise the rights. They will sunsequently announce the date on which the rights are credited to your CDP account and the date for which the units are available for trading

If you do not wish to receive the rights, then you should sell away your UE shares before XR.

Shareholder who owns the UE shares before the expiry date of 21 August 2013 is entitled the right to buy another UE share for $1.50. Those UE shares buy after 21 August 2013 will NOT have this entitlement.

As for the right, you can either choose to sell the right in the open market within a period of time or exercise your right (i.e. pay $1.5 and get another UE share). Furthermore, if you are the shareholder of the mother share before the ex date, you're entitled to apply excess right. UE will issue another document call "offer information statement (“Offer Information Statement”)" that state the important information as well as important dates regarding the right issue. The following are the important date you'll need to take note important date and events section. The following is a sample of what will be in the timetbale of key events

I have login to my CDP account and confirm that the provisional allotment of rights shares are already credited.

If you visit the sgx stock price webpage now, you can see a new counter UE R (code SV4R) created to facilitate its trading tomorrow.

[pianist]

seems like this counter eroded value a little more after the x-right date

[Olivia_meileng]

The value is behaved as plan after the right. The Right issue price is S$ 1.50. the purpose of the right issues is the lower their debt gearing which is currently at 1.10. Moving forward, anybody has information with their intention to sell the Changi Biz Hub ?

[freedom]

Did it mention it is in the process of divesting changi biz hub to a trust quite sometime ago?

After the acquisition of WBL, the immediately action should be to divest its technology division, IMO.
