Solution
The pre-emptive right means that when a company issues new shares (called right shares), it must first offer these shares to its existing shareholders in proportion to their current holdings.
This ensures that existing shareholders get a chance to maintain their percentage of ownership in the company.
It protects shareholders from dilution of their control.
