HEALTHWAY MEDICAL, a stock which is hotly discussed on NextInsight's forum, announced last night that it had made its second share buyback in a fortnight.
It's news that will bring some cheer to shareholders who may read it as an optimistic signal from the company.
Healthway bought back 4.7 million shares from the open market at 18.5 cents apiece (see table).
That's sharply higher than its previous buyback price of 12.5 cents a share.
Healthway also announced that the book closure date for its rights issue would be 21 January.
Under the rights issue, shareholders will receive one rights share for every five ordinary shares they hold.
Each rights share can be converted into an ordinary share by paying $0.075 each.
Those entitled to be allotted the rights shares are shareholders whose securities accounts with the CDP are credited with Healthway shares as at 5.00 p.m. on the Books Closure Date, 21 January 2010.
