Consider a firm with a stock price of $300 per share. The firm wants to raise new equity
capital through a rights offer.
(a) If the rights offer terms are one two new shares for three old at a price of 200 per
share (N 2:3-200), what is the stock price after the rights offer?
(b) To manage the share price, the company considers making a simultaneous stock
dividend of two new shares for three old. What is the stock price after the combined
rights offer (N 2:3-200) and stock dividend (F 2:3)?
(c) Disregard the stock dividend and focus on the rights offer (N 2:3-200). Capital is
scarce, and the firm decides to exclude the new shares from the next dividend in the
amount of 50 per old share. What is the stock price per old share after the rights
offer?
(d) Capital is scarce indeed and new shareholders request to get half the next dividend
in the amount of 25 per new share (50 per old share). What is the stock price per
old share after the rights offer?
