Q

If a company with an Equity Value of $1,000 and Enterprise Value of $1,200 issues $100 of
Stock, what happens to both metrics?

A

So, the company now has $100 in extra Assets, and those extra Assets were funded by Equity investors. As a result, Equity Value increases by $100.

Equity Value is $100 higher, but you subtract the extra $100 of Cash. There are no new, other investor groups to add. The changes cancel each other out, and Enterprise Value stays the same.
