Hi, Can someone explain to me what can happen to shares in the banks if the govt give them money to recapitalise them or tell them merge.
On the investment Ive been told the shares will be diluted, what does this mean?
Same with any potential merger, if for example, govt say BOI now have to merge with anglo Irish, what happens peoples shares in those respective companies?
Hope this doesnt contravene any posting guidelines on discussion of specific shares but Im really in the dark as to what that dilution/merger actually means. thanks.
