Claw Back occurs if a company makes a share issue that isn't a straightforward rights issue. The existing shareholders have the right to buy back a proportion of the new shares already placed with subscribing investors.
It's a device used by companies wanting to attract new investors while preserving some of the rights of their existing shareholders.
