Q

What are advantages / disadvantages of going public?

A

When a company goes public, the company initially gets all of the money raised through the IPO. When the shares trade on a stock exchange after the IPO, the company does not get any of that money. That is money that is exchanged between investors through the buying and selling of shares on the exchange. At the end of the day, the best decision is that which is best for the founders and their vision of the company.

Advantages:
- Financial benefit in the form of raising capital, can be used to fund R&D, fund capital expenditure, or pay off existing debt.
- Increased public awareness, may lead to an increase in market share for the company
- May be used by founding individuals as an exit strategy, many venture capitalists have used IPOs to cash in on successful companies that they helped
start up.
- Going public allows a company to raise significant capital and grow the business.

Disadvantages:
- Need for added disclosure for investors
- Regulation in regard to periodic financial reporting, which may be difficult for newer public companies,
Monitored by SEC, the cost of complying with regulatory requirements can be very high.
- Additional costs include the generation of financial reporting documents, audit fees, investor relation departments, and accounting oversight committees.
- The founders having to give up total control
- Remaining private allows the founders to run the company as they wish and not have to meet the
many regulatory requirements of being a public company.

Public companies also are faced with the added pressure of the market which may cause them to focus more on short-term results rather than long-term growth. The actions of the company’s management also become increasingly scrutinized as investors constantly look for rising profits. This may lead management to use somewhat questionable practices in order to boost earnings. Privately held companies have more autonomy than public ones.
Before deciding whether or not to go public, companies must evaluate all of the potential advantages and disadvantages that will arise. This usually happens during the underwriting process as the company works with an investment bank to weigh the pros and cons of a public offering and determine if it is in the best interest of the company for that time period.

Q

Three measures of cost of capital

A
  • The opportunity cost of capital
    The opportunity cost of capital is the cost of capital for a company or a project if it is all-equity financed
  • The company cost of capital (ra)
    Is the weighted average of the costs of equity and debt. MM tells us that in perfect markets the company cost of capital is identical to the opportunity cost for investing in the company.
  • The weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
    Is the weighted average of the cost of equity and the after-tax cost of debt.

Q

Convertible Bond vs Straight Bond

A
  • A convertible bond gives the owner the option to exchange the bond for a predetermined number of shares. The convertible bondholder hope that the issuing company’s share price will zoom up so that the bond can be converted at a big profit. But if it zooms down, there is no obligation to convert, and the bondholder remains a bondholder.
  • On the contrary, a straight bond is a bond that obliges the issuer to regular, fixed interest as well as principal repayment upon maturity.

Q

Special Purpose Entity (SPE) / Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV)

A

Is a subsidiary created by a parent company to isolate financial risk. Its legal status as a separate company makes its obligations secure even if the parent company goes bankrupt. For this reason, a special purpose vehicle is sometimes called a bankruptcy-remote entity. If accounting loopholes are exploited, these vehicles can become a financially devastating way to hide company debt.

  • An SPV is created as a separate company, with its own balance sheet by a corporation in order to isolate financial risk. It may be used to undertake a risky venture while reducing any negative financial impact upon the parent company.
  • Alternatively, it may be holding company for the securitization of debt
  • Also used by venture capitalists to consolidate a pool of capital to invest in a start-up
  • Have been used in the past by companies to hide financial losses.

A
  • Takes priority over common stock when receiving dividends (e.g can choose not to pay a preferred dividend, also affects the stockholder)
  • Gains som voting rights if corporation fails to pay preferred dividend
45
Q

Cash Dividend

A

Distributes dividend to its shareholders by way of cash. With cash dividends, the profits of the company are paid out instead of being reinvested in its business. This can at times become disadvantageous for a company since it cannot tap into its cash reserves for emergency purposes. If an equity shareholder of a company receives a cash dividend, it is considered to be an income and therefore the shareholders would have to disclose the income and pay tax on it.

46
Q

Stock dividend

A

distribute its own stocks to its equity shareholders in exchange for their investment
in the company, basically equal to a stock split. With stock dividends, a company doesn’t have to tap into its cash reserves or profits since it is only issuing its own stock to its equity shareholders. A company’s cash reserves stay intact. But since the company is essentially issuing more shares to its existing shareholders, it can bring about a dilution in the ownership control of the entity. Since the equity shareholder only receives more equity shares, it is not construed as an income and therefore not liable for taxation. That said, the shareholder would have to pay tax if he sells his shareholding out in the open market since that would construe as revenue.

47
Q

Difference between cash dividend and stock dividend

A

Cash dividend and stock dividend are two different methods by which a company can distribute a portion of its earnings to its shareholders. Here’s a brief explanation of the key differences between them:

Nature of Distribution:
- Cash Dividend: A cash dividend involves the distribution of actual cash to shareholders. Shareholders receive a specific amount of money for each share they own, typically expressed as a fixed amount per share (e.g., $0.50 per share).
- Stock Dividend: A stock dividend, also known as a bonus issue or scrip dividend, does not involve the distribution of cash. Instead, shareholders receive additional shares of the company’s stock. The number of additional shares received is usually expressed as a percentage of the shares the shareholder already owns (e.g., a 10% stock dividend means receiving 10 additional shares for every 100 shares owned).

Impact on Ownership:
- Cash Dividend: When shareholders receive a cash dividend, their ownership stake in the company remains the same. They receive cash but do not acquire additional shares.
- Stock Dividend: With a stock dividend, shareholders receive more shares of the company’s stock, which increases the number of shares they own. However, their proportional ownership in the company remains the same.

Company’s Financial Position:
-Cash Dividend: Paying cash dividends reduces the company’s cash reserves and retained earnings. It is a direct outflow of cash from the company’s accounts.
-Stock Dividend: A stock dividend does not involve a direct cash outflow from the company. Instead, it redistributes the value within the company by converting a portion of retained earnings into additional shares.

Tax Implications:
- Cash Dividend: In many countries, cash dividends are generally subject to taxation as income for the shareholders. Shareholders must pay taxes on the cash received.
- Stock Dividend: Stock dividends may have tax implications depending on the jurisdiction, but they often result in a lower immediate tax liability for shareholders because they do not receive cash.

Purpose:
- Cash Dividend: Companies often pay cash dividends when they want to distribute profits to shareholders as a form of income or return on investment. Cash dividends are a way to provide shareholders with liquidity.
- Stock Dividend: Stock dividends are typically used when a company wants to reward shareholders without depleting its cash reserves. They are often seen as a way to reinvest profits into the business while maintaining shareholder ownership percentages.

In summary, cash dividends involve the distribution of cash to shareholders, while stock dividends involve the distribution of additional shares of the company’s stock. The choice between the two methods depends on the company’s financial goals, cash position, and the preferences of its shareholders.

48
Q

Clinetele Effect

A

The clientele effect is a change in share price due to corporate decision-making that triggers investors’ reactions. A change in policy that is viewed by shareholders as unfavourable may cause them to sell some or all of their holdings, depressing the share price.

49
Q

Stock Repurchase

A

Instead of paying a dividend, the firm can use the cash to repurchase stock. The required shares are kept in the company’s treasury and may be resold if the company need money.

Stock Repurchase - Stocks are in the company’s treasury, 4 methods:
- Buy shares on the Markes, announces plans to buy
- Tender Offer to Shareholders, stated number of shares and fixed price
- Dutch Auction, states a series of prices at which the C is prepared to repurchase
- Private Negotiation (greenmail), direct negotiation with a shareholder

50
Q

Modigliani and Miller

A

Modigliani and Miller suggested that in a perfect world with no taxes or bankruptcy cost, the dividend policy is irrelevant. They proposed that the dividend policy of a company has no effect on the stock price of a company or the company’s capital structure.

  • Proposition 1
    When firm pays no taxes and capital markets function well, no difference if firm borrows or
    individual shareholders borrow. Hence, capital structure is irrelevant to value.

The total value of outstanding debt and equity depends on the value of the firms’ real assets,
operations, and growth opportunities, and not the proportions of debt and equity.

  • Leverage and expected returns, MM’s Proposition 2
    Financial leverage creates financial risk. When a corporation finances with more debt and less
    equity, the risk of the remaining equity goes up and its cost goes up to compensate.

MM2: Increased cost of equity exactly offset the advantage of borrowing at interest rates lower than the cost of equity.

51
Q

Limited company

A

Is fully liable for all obligations it owes to third parties who contract with it. The only limited liability is that of its shareholders. This means that the shareholders are not liable for the debts and obligations owed by the company.
- For exempel: If a person lends money to a limited company which then runs into financial difficulties, shareholders do not have any personal liability to provide their own money if the company is unable to repay the loan in full.

52
Q

Unlimited company

A

Shareholders of an unlimited company have unlimited liability. Unlimited liability menas that shareholders are responsible for all business debts and liabilities, even those that the company cannot pay. This amount can be more than the initial amount that they invested when subscribing for shares. The nature of a shareholder’s liability is set in the company’s constitution.
- For example: Suppose a person lends money to an unlimited company which runs into financial difficulties. In that case, the lender can look to the shareholders of the company for payment if the company is unable to pay its debts itself.

53
Q

Financial distress

A
  • Occurs when promises to creditors are broken or honored with difficulty.
  • Includes failure to pay interest or principal or both.
  • Formally it is defined as events preceding and including bankruptcy, such as violation of a loan or bond contract
54
Q

Financial Bootstrapping

A
55
Q

Shareholders vs Stakeholders

A
  • Shareholders are a subset of stakeholders, representing those who have a financial ownership interest in the company. Stakeholders, on the other hand, encompass a broader group of parties who have various interests in the company’s activities and outcomes, including financial, social, and environmental concerns. Modern corporate governance often involves considering the interests of both shareholders and stakeholders to achieve a balanced and sustainable approach to business operations.
  • Shareholders are always stakeholders in a corporation, but stakeholders are not always shareholders.
  • A shareholder owns a part of a public company through shares of a stock, while a stakeholder has an interest in the performance of a company for reasons other than stock performance or appreciation. These reasons often mena that the stakeholder has greater need for the company to succeed over a longer term.
56
Q

Option

A

An “option” is an instrument to do future deals. It’s a contract between two parties (buyer and seller) about deal but instead of doing it right away, you do it in the future. The one with the call option wants the stock to rise, will the one with the put option want the stock to stay stable or fall.

A stock options gives an investor the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell a stock at any agreed-upon price and date. Because inte has shares of stock (or stock index) as its underlying asset, stock options are a form of equity derivative and may be called equity options. The option payoffs depend solely on the price of the underlying asset, therefore known as derivative instruments/derivatives.

57
Q

Two types of options:

A
  • Puts, which is a bet that a stock will fall
  • Calls, which is a bet that a stock will rise. When a call option matures, the owner will exercise it only if the stock price is greater than the exercise price.
58
Q

Call option

A
  • Gives its owner the right, but not the obligation to buy a share at a specified exercise or strike price on or before a specified maturity date.
  • Option analysts often draw a payoff diagram to illustrate possible payoffs from an option.
  • Call options are typically used when an investor anticipates that the price of the underlying asset will rise. If the price indeed rises above the strike price, the call option can be profitable
59
Q

Put options

A
  • A put option gives the holder the right to sell the underlying asset at the strike price on or before the expiration date.
  • Put options are used when an investor expects the price of the underlying asset to fall. If the price does drop below the strike price, the put option can generate a profit.
60
Q

68
Q

Exercise

A

The act of using the option to buy (in the case of a call option) or sell (in the case of a put option) the underlying asset at the strike price.

69
Q

American vs European Options

A

Options can be classified as American-style or European-style. American options can be exercised at any time before or on the expiration date, while European options can only be exercised on the expiration date itself.

70
Q

Option value at maturity

A

When a call option matures, the owner will exercise it only if the stock price is greater than the exercise price. Therefore, at maturity, the value of a call is max(S-EX,0). When a pure matures, its value is max(EX-S,0)

71
Q

Put-call parity

A

In the case of European options, a strategy of buying a call and borrowing the present value of the exercise price provides an identical payoff to buying both the stock and a put. This basic relationship is called, put-call parity:

C + PV(EX) = P + S

Calls and puts are the basic building blocks that can be combined to give any pattern of payoffs

72
Q

Market capitalization

A

The market value of all shares

73
Q

Two ways to value a share of common stock

A
  • Calculate the PV of future dividends paid to holders of that share.
  • Calculate market capitalization (the market value of all shares) by forecasting and discounting all the free cash flow paid out to shareholders
74
Q

Surplus cash

A

Cash is surplus when these three criteria are met:
1. Free cash flow is reliably positive. Recall that free cash flow is the operating cash flow left after the firm has made all positive-NPV investments
2. The firm’s debt level is prudent and manageable. Otherwise free cash flow is better used to pay down debt
3. The firm has a sufficient war chest of cash or unused debt capacity to cover unexpected opportunities or setbacks.
