The firm has 1,100,000,000 shares outstanding. These are currently selling on the stock exchange for $24.52.
Calculate the current market value of firm equity.
To raise the needed $7,250,000,000 in new capital, your boss is considering issuing new shares at a subscription price of $20 in the rights offering.
How many new shares will the firm need to issue to raise the $7,250,000,000? Calculate the number of rights that will be needed to purchase a new share.
During the subscription period, what will be the market value of a right?
After the rights offering, what will be the firm value? The number of outstanding shares? The share price?
Current market value = current share price * Share outstanding
Current market value = $24.52*1,100,000,000
Current market value = $26,972,000,000
Number of new share issue = Amount raise through right issue/subscription price
Number of new share issue = 7,250,000,000/20
Number of new share issue = 362,500,000
Company will offer one right for one share. so, he is issuing 362,500,000 new share and outstanding share is 1,100,000,000.
Right for purchase a new share = 1,100,000,000/362,500,000 = 3.03 = 3 (Approximate)
Market value of right during subscription = (Stock price - Subscription price)/ (Right for purchase a new share+1)
Market value of right during subscription = (24.52-20)/(3.03+1) = 4.52/4.03
Market value of right during subscription = 1.12
Share price after right offering = (3.03*24.52+20)/4.03 = $23.40
Share price after right offering = $23.40
Total outstanding shares=1,100,000,000? + 362,500,000?
Total outstanding shares = 1,462,500,000
Firm value after right issue = 1,462,500,000*23.40
Firm value after right issue = 34222500000
