Pre-underwriting conferences2. Registration statements 3. Pricing the issue4. Public offering and sale 5. Market stabilization Several months 20-day waiting period Usually on the 20th day After the 20th day 30 days after offeringAlternative Issue MethodsThere are two kinds of public issues:The general cash offerThe rights offerAlmost all debt is sold in general cash offerings.The Cash OfferThere are two methods for issuing securities for cash:Firm CommitmentBest EffortsThere are two methods for selecting an underwriterCompetitiveNegotiatedFirm CommitmentUnder a firm commitment underwriting, the investment bank buys the securities outright from the issuing firm.Obviously, they need to make a profit, so they buy at “wholesale” and try to resell at “retail”.To minimize their risk, the investment bankers combine to form an underwriting syndicate to share the risk and help sell the issue to the public.Best EffortsUnder a best efforts underwriting, the underwriter does not buy the issue from the issuing firm. Instead, the underwriter acts as an agent, receiving a commission for each share sold, and using its “best efforts” to sell the entire issue.This is more common for initial public offerings than for seasoned new issues.Green Shoes and LockupsGreen Shoe provisionAllows syndicate to purchase an additional 15% of the issue from the issuerAllows the issue to be oversubscribedProvides some protection for the lead underwriter as they perform their price stabilization functionLockup agreementsRestriction on insiders that prevents them from selling their shares of an IPO for a specified time periodThe lockup period is commonly 180 daysThe stock price tends to drop when the lockup period expires due to market anticipation of additional shares hitting the streetThe Announcement of New Equity and the Value of the FirmThe market value of existing equity drops on the announcement of a new issue of common stock.Reasons includeManagerial InformationSince the managers are the insiders, perhaps they are selling new stock because they think it is overpriced.Debt CapacityIf the market infers that the managers are issuing new equity to reduce their debt-equity ratio due to the specter of financial distress the stock price will fall.Falling EarningsWork the Web ExampleHow have recent IPOs done?Click on the web surfer to go to the Bloomberg site and follow the “IPO Center” linkHow many companies have gone public in the last week?How have companies that went public three months ago done? What about six months ago?The Cost of New Issues1. Spread or underwriting discount2. Other direct expenses3. Indirect expenses4. Abnormal returns5. Underpricing6.
