I then created a quick spreadsheet to calculate her metric birthdays - she is 1,000 days old in 181 days time! I thought what a cool idea - alongside years, days are the only real constant - as months, hours, minutes and seconds are what we have created to 'measure' time. I then checked to see if anyone had created a site for this - and voila I stumbled on yours. Very cool - but now thinking about what to do with it!

It looks really unprofessional but i guess i am just going to have to keep it that way.

Yes, the calculator does factor in all leap year day variations since it uses the javascript date function that runs in your browser. Hi Mark, glad you enjoyed the metric birthday calculation.

Years ago I had calculated the metric birthday of my wife and 3 kids just for grins and had forgot about the concept until a few days ago. Knowing that my youngest must be approaching his 1000k day I sought out a site that would make the re-calculation easier than what I did last time. (You did factor in all the leap day variations I'm sure, right?) Thanks for this calculator.

Now I understood that our only difference is that I assume the closing price on 27 May didn’t reflect the fact the Haier will inject their initial replacement at a price of $.80 later on 2 June. Therefore I turned to check the ex-rights price. However, FPA price on 5 June (one day after the record date) was $.69, according to the data I drew from the NZX Archive. So I have got another question: Did 5 June the ex-rights date? I am not sure if it was because for a dividend payment event the ex-dividends date should be 29 May.

The dilution that occurs to current shareholders by the placements to Haier are already agreed to and therefore the share price before the rights issue has already priced this dilution in. So the alternative perspective is as follows: If I purchased a share today and then received and exercised the right, then my total outlay would be $1.03 + $0.41 = $1.44 and I would end up with 2 shares. Therefore I have paid $0.72 per share. Since all other information is already priced into the pre-right share price, the ex-right share price should be $0.72.
