2 THP Co is planning to buy CRX Co, a company in the same business sector, and is considering paying cash for the
shares of the company. The cash would be raised by THP Co through a 1 for 3 rights issue at a 20% discount to its

The purchase price of the 1 million issued shares of CRX Co would be equal to the rights issue funds raised, less
