How to take up a rights issue?

[Zaij]

Hey, I've got interests with a stock that's recently had a rights issue. I'm just wondering how I take it up. I haven't received any correspondance because I'm living overseas at the moment, if it's through that are there any other options?

Thanks,
Zaij.

You usually need the personalised form the company/share registry sends out...who gets your mail? also the ASX site will have a schedule of events for the issue so you can look at that and see when it opens and closes and when the papers have been dispatched etc.

Can also depend on your broker. Eg: IB (like lots of non-Australian brokers) hold the shares in their name, so to take up the issue you just need to tell them.
