The Ongoing Rights Issue at Byjose's Headquarters

Byjose, once a high-flying startup valued at $22 billion, has faced financial struggles and slashed its valuation by 99%. In desperate need of money, the company has turned to investors for a fundraising effort.

This allows them to maintain their stake in the company and potentially reduce the weighted average cost of their shares.
