Case Analysis: Equity Financing Continuing in your role as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Anycorp Inc., you are interested in looking at the various financing options for the acquisition of Anycorp's defeated rival, Initech LLC. While your last inspection of financing options centered around debt financing, you're now interested in examining acquisition financing using equity (read: stock) financing. As in the prior case analysis and based on your readings from Chapter 7, prepare an Executive Summary discussing the various pros, cons, and tradeoffs of equity financing and whether an equity issuance would be appropriate for Anycorp's acquisitive needs. You should pay particular attention to issues of control, risk (financial, operational, mission, etc.), and sustainability. This should be done from the perspective of (primarily) Anycorp itself but, also, from the perspective of the investors in Anycorp's financing issue. Finally, and if you have space for it, please discuss the various tradeoffs between debt and equity financing that might crop up in an acquisition funding situation.
