returns.

Advantages of Bonds
• The main advantage of issuing bonds is that you
do not have to share profits. Your costs are fixed,
and as long as you can cover the debt servicing,
you get to keep the rest. Additionally, once the
bond is paid off, you have no further obligation to
the bondholder. Your payments are temporary.
Also, no matter how much you borrow, you will
still maintain executive control of your company.
There is no tax consequence to borrowing money,
unless the loan is eventually forgiven.

interest (usually paid semiannually) and return
the principal to you on a specific maturity date
•

Zero coupon bonds
• a bond that is issued at a deep discount to its face
value but pays no interest.
• Zero-coupon bonds don't make interest payments.
Instead, they are issued at a discount to face value and
mature at face value. For example, a bond with a face
value of $1000 might be issued at a price of 50 cents
on the dollar. The yield is a function of the purchase
price, the face value and the time remaining till
maturity. Because zero-coupon bonds provide no cash
flow prior to maturity, their duration is equal to their
maturity

IPO
• If a brand new company or a company already in
existence, but with no shares listed on the stock
exchange, decides to invite the public to buy its shares,
it is called an Initial Public Offering or an IPO.
• The first sale of stock by a company to the
public. Companies offering an IPO are sometimes new,
young companies, or sometimes companies which
have been around for many years but are finally
deciding to go public. IPOs are often risky investments,
but often have the potential for significant gains. IPOs
are often used as a way for a young company to gain
necessary market capital

Book building
• Book building is actually a price discovery method. In this
method, the company doesn't fix up a particular price for
the shares, but instead gives a price range, e.g. Rs 80-100.
When bidding for the shares, investors have to decide at
which price they would like to bid for the shares, for e.g. Rs
80, Rs 90 or Rs 100. They can bid for the shares at any price
within this range.
Based on the demand and supply of the shares, the final
price is fixed. The lowest price (Rs 80) is known as the floor
price and the highest price (Rs 100) is known as cap price.

Underwriters
• An underwriter to the issue could be a banker, broker,
merchant banker (see below) or a financial institution.
They give a commitment to underwrite the issue.
• Underwriting means they will subscribe to the balance
shares if all the shares offered at the IPO are not picked
up.
• Suppose there is an issue is for Rs 100 crore (Rs 1
billion) and subscriptions are received only for Rs 80
crore (Rs 800 million). It is then left to the underwriters
to pick up the balance Rs 20 crore (Rs 200 million).
• If underwriters don't pay up, SEBI will cancel their
licenses.

Modes of procuring Long term funds:
• Public issue,
• Right issue
• private placement

Private Placement
• In a private placement, you sell equity shares
of your business to a select group of investors.

Public issue,
• When shares, bonds etc are made available
for anyone to buy.
• Public issue means raising funds from public.
Promoters of the Company may have plans for
the Company, which may require infusion of
money. The main purpose of the public issue,
amongst others, is to raise money through
public and get its shares listed at any of the
recognized stock exchanges in India.
