Valuing a right: example • Initial position • Number of shares outstanding: 10 m (nold) • Price per share: € 20 (Pcum) • Terms of offer • Number of new shares issued: 5 m (nnew) • Subscription price: € 16 (Psub) • Number of rights for a share: 2 • After offer • Number of shares: 15 m • Value of shares: € 280 m • Price per share: 18.67 (Pex) • Value of a right: € 1.33 Advanced Finance 2007 IPO/SOE
Valuing a right: formula • Value of a right = Pcum - Pex • Mkt value of equity after SEO: V = nold Pcum+ nnewPsub • = (nold+nnew) Pex • Combine these to equations to get: • In example: value of right = 5/15 * (20-16) = 1.33 Advanced Finance 2007 IPO/SOE
Does the subscription price matter? • Back to example: Proceed of issue = 80m • Subscription price 16 8 • Number new shares 5 m 10 m • # rights / share 2 1 • Value of right 1.33 6 • Price per share after issue 18.67 14 • Total cost of 1 new share 18.67 14 • = 16 + 2 * 1.33 = 8 + 1 * 6 • Old shareholder • Before 20 20 • After 20 20 • = 18.67 + 1.33 = 14 + 6 Advanced Finance 2007 IPO/SOE
