The syndicate then resells the issue to the public
The underwriter makes money on the spread
between the price paid to the issuer and the price
received from investors when the stock is sold
The syndicate bears the risk of not being able to
sell the entire issue for more than the cost
2. Best efforts underwriting
Underwriter must make their “best effort” to sell
the securities at an agreed-upon offering price
The company bears the risk of the issue not being
sold
Not as common as it used to be
Types of underwriter

number of shares and price per share

the table”

Rights
Definition: an issue of common stock offered to

Specify purchase price
Specify time frame
Why do companies offer Rights? (Advantages)
Rights may be traded OTC or on an exchange
The mechanics of a rights offering

Rights
The value of a right
Example:
National Power current share price is 20$, there is 1,000,000
shares outstanding. Suppose they want to raise 5,000,000$ in
new equity using a right offering (1 right for each 1 share)
with a subscription price of 10$. Calculate the following:
1. Number of new shares to be issued
2. Number of rights needed to buy a new share
3. The value of the right
4. Show in calculations the effects of the rights offering on
shareholders
Effects on share holders
The case of buying a new share using rights
The case of selling rights
Results
The price specified in a rights offering is generally
less than the current market price
The share price will adjust based on the number of
new shares issued
The value of the right is the difference between the
old share price and the “new” share price
The value of a right
Suppose a company wants to raise $10 million. The
subscription price is $20 and the current stock
price is $25. The firm currently has 5,000,000
shares outstanding.
How many shares have to be issued?
How many rights will it take to purchase one share?
What is the value of a right?
Rights Offering Example
Dilution
Dilution is a loss in value for existing shareholders
that occurs through the issuance of additional stocks
Dilution kinds:
1. Percentage ownership – shares sold to the general
public without a rights offering
2. Market value – firm accepts negative NPV projects
3. Book value and EPS – occurs when market-to-book
value is less than one
Types of Long-term Debt
1. Public issue of long-term debt are usually in the form of
bonds
2. Private issues
Long-Term loans usually bank loans or could be from private firm
which has a history with the company
Easier to renegotiate than public issues
If bonds were issued to private investors costs would be lower than
public issues
MORE THAN 50% OF ALL DEBT ARE ISSUED PRIVATELY
Interest rates are higher in private issues when compared to public
issues
