Characteristics of Common Stock • Ownership - shareholders • Dividends: • Vary over time • Not guaranteed • Unlimited growth • Residual Claim on income retained • Voting Rights • Lowest claim in case of liquidation
Management of Publicly Traded Corporations • Shareholders elect a group of individuals called the Board of Directors who oversee the management of the corporation. • The Board of Directors selects and oversees the managers (i.e., CEO) who are responsible for day-to-day operations of the firm.
Director Responsibility • Directors have fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interests of those who elected them. (Fiduciary means legal duty to act in the best interests of those who entrusted you.) • Directors can not have conflicts of interest that could be damaging to the company
Ownership of Common Stock • Mostly owned (70%) by institutional investors • Institutional investors include: Pension plan funds (CALPERS) Insurance companies Mutual funds Hedge funds
Pros and Cons of Equity Financing Disadvantages of Equity Financing • Dilution of ownership and power due to more shares of stock outstanding. • Lower earnings per share/stock price • A lot more work than Debt offering • Flotation costs (expensive) • Fees paid to investment bankers, lawyers, accountants, printers • Usually much higher than for debt issues.
Pros and Cons of Equity Financing Advantages of Equity Financing • No interest or principal to pay (unlike debt) • No obligation to pay dividends. • Management doesn’t like debt (risk averse) • Reduces financial risk (total debt ratio) • This may be a more important advantage to firms that already are relatively risky due to the kind of business they do (e.g. high tech has high business risk)
Issuing Common Stock • Sell to existing shareholders or to new shareholders? • How much $ do you need? • Timing – up or down market? • Initial Public Offering (IPO) (first time)
Investment Bankers • Role of Investment Bankers • Underwriting – syndicate guarantees the sale, sets the price, buys the stock and resells it to the general public (expensive) • Best efforts – sell what they can • Investment bankers include: Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, J.P. Morgan, Credit Suisse First Boston, & others
Pricing New Issues of Stock • If publicly traded, stock sells for existing market price • If IPO, a difficult task, much haggling with the investment banker, (and often wrong – Google, Face Book) • Methods include present value of future cash flows, comparisons to similar types of companies, market value of angel and secondary private offerings, etc.
Stock Options • An option to buy shares of stock at a pre-determined price, usually set at the current market price of the stock or slightly below • Given to Directors, Officers and Employees as an incentive to stay with the company and make it grow • The recipient usually has a period of time, say ten years, in which to exercise the options before they expire
Stock Options (Cont’d) • Certain restrictions may apply as to when an option may be exercised • Shares used for stock options exercised usually come from Treasury stock • Employee writes a check to the company for the exercise price of the option • Exercise and sell? (Tax consequences)
