Common Stock and Long-Term Debt
Long-Term Financing
Common stock
Preferred stock
Long-term debt
The dominant source for new financing for corporations across the world is internally
generated cash flows.
3
Corporations face four key decisions continually:
• How much capital to raise?• How much of this is to be raised externally?• Should external funds be raised via capital
markets or via financial intermediaries?• What proportion of the external funding should be
common stock, preferred stock, or long-term debt?Internal financing: cash flow from operations minus
cash dividends. Amount not fixed: firm can vary dividends and capital structure.
Corporations are almost always net dissavers.
Basic Choices In Long-Term Financing
4
Factors that affect the choice of financing:
• Management’s decision to build up or reduce working capital over time;
• Dividend policy is not fixed, so firm can draw from retained earnings for capital source, and
• Raising capital externally entails higher legal and transaction costs than raising capital internally.
Marginal benefits of raising capital externally: ability to raise greater sums of money per
dollar spent to acquire financing.
Marginal costs of raising capital externally: transaction, legal and other costs usually
decline per dollar of capital raised.
Internal Versus External Financing
5
Financial intermediaries (banks) play a more important role for non-US corporations.
Laws that influenced the role financial intermediaries played in the U.S.:
McFadden Act of 1927 prohibited interstate
banking.
In July 1994, Congress passed a bill to allow interstate banking.
Glass-Steagall Act (1933) mandated separation of
investment and commercial banking.
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (1999) repealed the Glass-
Steagall Act.
Financial Intermediaries

The McFadden Act of 1927 prohibited interstate banking.
• America’s long history of distrusting concentrated, private economic power has dramatically influenced U.S. financial regulations.
• In response to public opinion, policymakers discouraged the growth of large intermediaries (especially commercial banks), in part, by imposing on them severe geographical restrictions.
• Existing restrictions were codified into national law when Congress passed the McFadden Act in 1927, which prohibited interstate banking.
• After numerous failed attempts to repeal the McFadden Act over the years, Congress finally approved a bill allowing full interstate branch banking in July 1994.
McFadden Act of 1927

Glass-Steagall Act (1933) mandated separation of investment and commercial
banking.• The Glass-Steagall Act was passed in 1933 in response to
perceived banking abuses during the Great Depression.
• This legislation mandated the separation of investment and commercial banking:- Commercial banks were prohibited from underwriting
corporate security issues, providing security brokerage services to their customers, or even owning voting equity securities on their own account.
- Banking’s corporate financing role was thus restricted to making commercial loans and to providing closely related services, such as leasing.
Glass-Steagall Act (1933)

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (1999) repealed the Glass-Steagall Act.
• Congress passed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act in November 1999.
• This act allows commercial banks, securities firms, and insurance companies to join together in a new financial holding company structure, also defined by the act.
• However, the act still prohibits nonfinancial companies from owning commercial banks.

Securitization repackages loans and other traditional bank-based credit products into securities.
• The total value of primary issues around the world in 2006 was a record $7.29 trillion.
• Worldwide security offerings were $1.82 trillion in 1997 and less than $400 billion as recently as 1988.
• The eighteen-fold increase in the value of security market financing between 1988 and 2006 was not matched by a remotely comparable increase in world trade, investment, or economic activity.
• Instead, it is a reflection of the power of the trend toward the “securitization” of corporate finance.

Annual Global Securities Issuance: Patterns

U.S. issuers account for two-thirds of total public issue volume.
Major global trend is shift toward securitization and diminishing reliance on traditional intermediaries
(banks) for external financing.
Debt issues are over three-fourths of US total every year. Equity issues play small financing role
everywhereAmerica’s IPO market is usually the world’s largest and
most liquid source of equity capital for small, rapidly growing firms, and most observers consider it a key national asset. During, 2006, however, the United
States trailed both Britain and China in the value of IPOs.

Employ an investment bank to advise and handle offering;
Approach Private vs. public capital market;
A firm needing external capital faces the following choices:
Negotiate privately with investment banks or solicit competitive bids from the banks, or
Issue shares to existing stockholders or general cash offering.

Conflicts of Interest
• Investment banks cannot “solve” these conflicts of interest.
• Instead, they must price new security issues to strike a balance between the revenue maximization goal of the issuing firms and the profit maximization objective of their investing clients.
Banks provide advice and underwriting services to
companies that want to issue those securities for the highest possible price.
Banks sell these securities to their own clients who want to purchase securities at bargain
prices.
Research analysts working for the investment banks produce reports that are supposed to advise clients on whether the
securities are fairly priced.
17
Two basic laws governing public issues:
Securities act of 1933
Prescribed security issuance procedures, set
basic principle of full disclosure
Securities and exchange
commission act of 1934
Set up SEC, gave it broad regulatory, rule-making
powers
Securities laws mandate disclosure of all relevant corporate information to potential
investors.
Investment banks play key disclosure role by performing due diligence.

SEC introduced rule 415: shelf registration
• Qualifying issuers (more than $150 million in outstanding stock) file a “master registration statement”, summarizing planned financing for the next two years.
• The company can offer securities for sale (off the shelf) over subsequent two years.
• Shelf registration popular with issuers; very flexible.Most qualifying debt issues are shelf
registered.Very few equity issues use shelf: IB
certification needed.

US IPO market larger than rest of world’s combined.
IPOs account for 30-45% of all new equity raised each year.
IPO market is highly cyclical: biggest IPO boom ever between 1991 and March 2000.
During, 2006, however, the United States trailed both Britain and China in the value of
IPOs.
NYSE and NASDAQ now compete for IPOs.

IPOs can raise large amounts of new capital for growth.
Publicly traded stock serve as currency for acquisitions.
Listed stock (options) can be used to attract top managers.
Entrepreneurs enjoy personal wealth and liquidity.
IPOs serve as advertising for firms and their products/services.
Advantages Of IPOs
24
High financial costs, with no guarantee of success: Cash expenses of an IPO often
approach $1 million.Managerial costs of planning and executing
IPO.
Firms need to focus on stock price and deal with shareholders.
In public firms, severe constraints are placed on managerial discretion.
• Have to disclose operating and sensitive data publicly
• Must follow public company governance rules set by SEC
Disadvantages Of IPOs
25
Equity carve-out
• Parent sells minority stake in subsidiary to public through IPO.
• Raises cash for parent, allows better monitoring of subsidiary
Spin-off
• Parent distributes all of a subsidiary’s stock to shareholders.
• Full spin-off creates independent new company.
Reverse LBO• Company goes public again after
LBO.• Successful LBOs create value, so
high returns to second IPO.
Tracking stock
• Stock mirrors performance of division, but not legally or operationally separate from parent.
Specialized IPOs
26
Patterns observed in IPO offerings:
• IPO underpricing: in US, the share prices rise on average 15% above the offer price in the first day of trading.
• Large IPOs typically underpriced less than smaller offerings.
• Early research on long-run performance of IPOs shows IPOs underperform compared to shares of comparable-sized firms.
• New research challenges these findings.

SEOs infrequent for most U.S. and non-U.S. firms.
Reason Negative market reaction when SEOs are announced
SEO announcements convey negative info:
• Managers may consider stock over-valued.• SEOs could reveal that cash flows will be lower
than expected.
Short-term and long-term performance of SEOs: prices fall on announcement; under-
perform over 1,3 and 5 years.
Seasoned Equity Offerings (SEO)
30
Sale of a security directly to one or a group of accredited investors
Accredited investors in private placements are financially sophisticated.
Corporations, institutional investors, wealthy individuals, pension and mutual funds,
venture capitalists are among accredited investors.
Rule 144A allows limited trading of PP amongqualified institutional investors.
U.S. Private Placements
Institutions with assets exceeding $100 million.
31
Two types
Domestic stock offering
International, or cross-border, issues
Total number of non-U.S. IPOs exceeds U.S. total, but total value (except privatizations)
usually much smaller.
All markets show significant IPO underpricing.
Most markets show poor long-term returns for IPOs, SEOs.
International Common Stock Offerings
32
Dollar-denominated claims issued by U.S. banks
Represent ownership of shares of a foreign company’s stock held on deposit in the
issuing firm’s home country.
Sponsored ADR
• The issuing foreign company pays all legal and financial costs of creating and trading the security.
• Issuing firm is not involved with the issue of ADRs.
Unsponsored ADR
American Depositary Receipts (ADRs)
34
SIPs have raised almost $1.5 trillion since 1980. The 15 largest (and 27 of the 28 largest) share offerings in
history are all either SIP or rights offerings by partially privatized companies.
Share Issue Privatizations
A government executing a share issue privatization (SIP) sells all or part of its ownership in a state-owned
enterprise to private investors via a public share offering.

Raising Long-Term Financing
• Long-term financing instruments: common and preferred stock, debt
• Financial intermediaries: institutions that raise funds by selling claims on themselves
• Volume of security issues surged eight-fold in 11 years.
• Firms wanting to raise capital externally must make a series of decisions: debt or equity, use an investment bank or not.
