CONT

Il y a dilution de l'avoir des actionnaires lorsqu'une entreprise émet de nouvelles actions aux investisseurs et lorsque les détenteurs d'options d'achat d'actions exercent leur droit d'acheter des actions. Une quantité supérieure d'actions dans les mains d'un nombre plus élevé de personnes signifie que chaque détenteur d'actions ordinaires existantes détient un pourcentage plus faible ou dilué de l'entreprise.
