Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an accelerated seasoned equity offering (SEO), an issuer foregoes the investment bank's marketing efforts in return for a lower fee. To explain why many issuing firms choose a higher cost fully marketed offer, we posit that the marketing effort flattens the issuer's short-run demand curve. Alternatively stated, with a fully marketed offer, the issuer is paying investment bankers to create demand, making the elasticity of demand at the time of issuance an endogenous choice variable. Empirical analysis shows that both the pre-issue elasticity of the issuing firm's demand curve and the offer size are important determinants of the offer method choice. We find evidence of a large transitory increase in the elasticity of demand for issuers conducting fully marketed SEOs.

Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Accelerated seasoned equity offerings (SEOs), which include bought deals and accelerated bookbuilt offers, have increased dramatically in the U.S. and globally recently. Accelerated offers are cheaper than traditional fully marketed offers in terms of direct issue costs. To explain why some issuing firms choose a fully marketed offer instead of an accelerated offer, we develop a model in which marketing flattens the issuer's demand curve. Empirical analysis shows that the pre-issue elasticity of the issuing firm's demand curve and the relative offer size are important determinants of the offer method. In our analysis, the elasticity of demand at the time of issuance is endogenous.

Book excerpt: Using a sample of 438 firms that issued seasoned equity, we investigate the ex ante reasons stated by the firm for the use of capital, the actual ex post use of funds, and the market reaction to this information. We find that, regardless of the stated use of funds, firms increase capital expenditures and research and development following an SEO. In addition, firms increase their long term debt following an SEO, even when the stated reason for the capital is to pay down debt. The market reacts more favorably to the anticipated investment increases if the firm provides specific plans for the use of the soon-to-be-raised capital. The evidence is consistent with the view that agency issues are important factors in SEOs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper gauges the importance of market timing for the decision to conduct a seasoned equity offering by testing whether SEO decisions are better explained by timing opportunities or by a simple fundamentals-based theory in which firms sell stock primarily in the early stages of their lifecycle, when growth opportunities exceed internally generated cash flow. We measure timing opportunities using market-to-book ratios and prior and future stock returns (and other equity mispricing proxies advanced in the literature), and lifecycle stage by the number of years listed. Both timing and lifecycle proxies have a significant influence, with the lifecycle effect quantitatively stronger, but neither adequately explains SEO decisions because (i) a near-majority of issuers are not growth firms, and (ii) the vast majority of firms with high M/B ratios and high recent and poor future stock returns fail to issue stock. Since a full 62.6% of issuers would run out of cash by the year after the SEO without the offer proceeds (and 81.1% would have subnormal cash balances at that time), we conclude that a near-term cash need is the primary SEO motive, with market-timing opportunities and lifecycle stage exerting economically significant ancillary influences on the SEO decision.

Book excerpt: Essay one investigates registered insider sales as stated in the final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to test managerial market timing ability during the Seasoned Equity Offering (SEO) process. Using a comprehensive sample of 1,051 SEOs between 1997 and 2005, the findings suggest that the initial market reaction and the long-run post-issue performance of issuers are negatively related to C-level executive insider sales, but unrelated to sales by non-executive insiders. Overall, the findings are consistent with the notion that executive insiders are aware of the mispricing in their firm's securities and successfully time their sales by participating in the secondary components of SEOs. The implication is that SEOs with C-level executive sales are overvalued relative to both SEOs without insider sales and SEOs with only non-executive insider sales. In the second essay, we compare shareholder wealth effects of dual-class and single-class Seasoned Equity Offerings (SEOs) between 1997 and 2005. While there is no difference in pre-issue stock performance or the initial market reaction to the SEO announcements, dual-class issuers significantly underperform single-class issuers in the post-issue years. The mean three-year underperformance of dual-class firms relative to single-class is a significant 28.93% (30.45%) in buy-and-hold raw (abnormal) stock returns, and robust to alternative model specifications. We document that this relative long-run stock underperformance is related to differences in the impacts of post-issue capital expenditures and acquisitions for dual and single-class issuers. Similarly, post-issue corporate cash holdings also contribute less to the shareholder wealth for dual-class firms.

Book excerpt: This paper examines the impact of market liquidity on seasoned equity offerings (SEO) characteristics in France. We find that, besides blockholders' takeup, liquidity is an important determinant of SEO flotation method choice. We document higher direct equity offering flotation costs, but also improved stock market liquidity after public offerings and standby rights relative to uninsured rights. After controlling for endogeneity in the choice of SEO flotation method, we find that pure public offerings and standby rights are comparable in terms of direct costs and liquidity improvement. Our results provide new insights as to why firms choose public offerings despite apparently higher costs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Firms conduct SEOs to resolve a near-term liquidity squeeze, and not primarily to exploit market timing opportunities. Without the SEO proceeds, 62.6% of issuers would have insufficient cash to implement their chosen operating and non-SEO financing decisions the year after the SEO. Although the SEO decision is positively related to a firm's market-to-book (M/B) ratio and prior excess stock return and negatively related to its future excess return, these relations are economically immaterial. For example, a 150% swing in future net of market stock returns (from a 75% gain to a 75% loss over three years) increases by only 1% the probability of an SEO in the immediately prior year. Strikingly, most firms with quintessential "market timer" characteristics fail to issue stock and a non-trivial number of mature firms do issue stock, with current and former dividend payers raising more than half of all issue proceeds.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seasoned equity offerings (SEOs) in the UK provide valuable choices to the issuer in terms of renounceability and control dilution. This is especially the case following the removal of the size restriction of pound;15 m on share placements to institutional investors in January 1996. We formulate a set of hypotheses from a quality-signalling perspective, affording an analysis of the key interrelations between renounceability, control dilution, shareholder takeup, and subscription price discount. We analyze SEOs from two perspectives: market reaction to the announcement, and identification of the factors driving the choice of issue type. Generally, we find strong support for our predictions - most notably that: high-quality firms signal quality via lower discounts and/or pre-renouncements; high-quality issuers have lower idiosyncratic risk; firms with widely dispersed ownership structures and firms with the largest market capitalizations will choose standalone placements with book-building; and firms with higher (lower) ownership concentration and lower (higher) shareholder takeup will choose fixed-price placements (rights offerings).
