Initial Public Offering
 Initial Public Offering

investors can provide, it can choose to go public
through an initial public offering, or IPO
– Primary Offering
• When new shares are sold to raise additional cash for
the company
– Secondary Offering
• When the company’s founders and venture capitalists
cash in on some of their gains by selling shares
Does a secondary offering provide additional capital to the firm?

Underwriter Spread
Example
Assume the issuing company incurs $1 million in expenses
to sell 3 million shares at $40 each to an underwriter; the
underwriter sells the shares at $43 each. What is the
spread for this deal?
Spread — the difference between the public
offer price and the price paid by underwriter
3 𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑜𝑛 × $43 − $40 = $9 𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑜𝑛
15- 16
Copyright © 2018 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved
Underwriting Arrangements
 Firm Commitment
– Underwriters buy the securities from the firm and then
resell them to the public
 Best Efforts Commitment
– Underwriters agree to sell as much of the issue as possible
but do not guarantee the sale of the entire issue
 Flotation Costs
– The costs incurred when a firm issues new securities to the
public
15- 17
Copyright © 2018 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved
Underwriting Arrangements
Example
How much will a firm receive in net funding from a firm
commitment underwriting of 250,000 shares priced to the
public at $40 if a 10% underwriting spread has been
added to the price paid by the underwriter? Additionally,
the firm pays $600,000 in legal fees.
Cost to public = $40
Net to issuer = $40/1.10 = $36.36
Therefore, the spread was $3.64 per share
Net to issuer = 250,000 × $36.36 = $9,090,000
Less legal fees 600,000
$8,490,000
15- 18

Underpricing of an IPO
Example (continued)
Assume the issuer incurs $1 million in other expenses to sell 3
million shares at $40 each to an underwriter and the
underwriter sells the shares at $43 each. By the end of the
first day’s trading, the issuing company’s stock price had
risen to $70. What is the total cost of underpricing?
Underpricing — Issuing securities at an offering price
set below the true value of the security
Cost of underpricing:
3 million($70 - $43) = $81 million
15- 19

General Cash Offers
 Seasoned Offering
– Sale of securities by a firm that is already publicly traded
 General Cash Offer
– Sale of securities open to all investors by an already public
company
 Shelf Registration
– A procedure that allows firms to file one registration
statement for several issues of the same security
 Private Placement
– Sale of securities to a limited number of investors without a
public offering

Rights Issue
Rights Issue — Issue of securities offered only
to current stockholders
Example
Barclays Bank currently has 12.68 billion shares
outstanding. The market price is £2.85/sh.
Barclays decides to raise additional funds via a 1
for 4 rights offer at £1.85/sh. If we assume 100%
subscription, what is the value of each right?
15- 21
Copyright © 2018 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved
Rights Issue
Current market value = 12.68 bil × £2.85/sh = £36.14 bil
Total shares = 12.68 bil + 3.17 bil = 15.85 bil
Amount of new funds = 3.17 bil × £1.85/sh = £5.86 bil
New share price = (36.14 + 5.86)/15.85 = £2.65/sh
Example
Barclays Bank currently has 12.68 billion shares
outstanding. The market price is £2.85/sh. Barclays decides
to raise additional funds via a 1 for 4 rights offer at
£1.85/sh. If we assume 100% subscription, what is the value
of each right?

Shariah Framework for Islamic Finance
and the reason behind
 Shariah governance is integral to the Islamic financial
system’s stability. The institutionalization of a sound
Shariah governance framework strengthens public
confidence in the integrity, management, and business
operations of the Islamic financial institutions.
 The main principles of Islamic finance are that: Wealth
must be generated from legitimate trade and asset-based
investment. (The use of money for the purposes of
making money is expressly forbidden.) Investment should
also have a social and an ethical benefit to wider society
beyond pure return.
15- 24
Copyright © 2018 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved
Why there is a need for Shariah
governance in Islamic finance?
 Because of the obligation of Shariah
principles, IFIs must ensure all activities are
based on Shariah guidelines. The lack of
such a governance framework may spark
conflicts that may lead to financial and
non-financial losses.

Prospectus – Formal summary that provides information on an issue of securities. The roadshow attempts to gauge the interest that potential investors would have in purchasing the new securities. If enough public interest, the underwriters issue shares to the public. Typically underwriters underprice shares upon issue. Underpricing – Issuing securities at an offering price set below the true value of the security.
  • #15: Underwriter – Firm that buys an issue of securities from a company and resells it to the public. Underwriters serve three roles: Provide firm with procedural and financial advice. Buy the firm’s stock. Resell the stock to the public.
