Tweet Inc. is planning its initial public offerings (IPO). The firm’s current value of equity is estimated to be $750 million. The founder of Tweet Inc. and a few venture capital funds together hold all the 48 million existing shares, and they want to retain 75% of the firm after the IPO. The floatation costs, including underwriting fees charged by Silverman Sachs, the investment bank, will be 10% of the proceeds. How many shares will be sold and for how much per share?

As the founder wants to hold 75% of the shares, so the rest 25% of total shares will be sold = 25% of 48 million = 12 million shares

As the current value of equity is estimated to be 750 million. So each share values to be = 750/48 = 15.625

But there is an flotation cost associated with issuing of IPO which is 10% of the proceeding. So the issue price of the shares will be marked up by 10% of their intrinsic value = 15.625*1.1 = $17.1875
