This paper seeks to discuss securitisation as a viable, and an alternative way of raising additional capital for business organisations. Business organisations and other corporate entities require substantial capital to grow and expand their ventures. When the financial resources of a business entity are stretched to the limit, equity capital is scarce and therefore expansion is stalled. Therefore, in order to improve their financial liquidity, the shareholders may not be ready to relinquish their holdings by issuing stocks to the public. Hence, they have resorted to innovative ways of raising additional capital with minimal cost. Securitisation has been found to be a convenient way of raising funds by transforming unmarketable assets/receivables into tradable securities through the instrumentality of Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs). For this reason, the securitisation market has continued to grow. Securitisation has witnessed exponential growth from a non-existent industry in 1970 to $6.6 trillion as of the second quarter of 2003. As it has been revealed in numerous instances, SPVs have been put to various use by …show more content…
C20 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004 (hereafter referred to as CAMA), therefore the relationship between a SPV and the originator in Nigeria would be determined by the Act. In Nigeria, Sections 336(1) and 338 of CAMA are relevant to the determination of the relationship between corporate bodies as it relates to group accounting, holding and subsidiary respectively. The examination of the Section would give an insight to the meaning of a subsidiary in the context of the Act. Section 338(1) of CAMA provides that a company shall be deemed to be a subsidiary of another, if that other company (parent company) is a member of it and controls the composition of its board of directors or it holds more than half of its nominal value of its equity
options to obtain the needed capital and how you would approach securing this type of financing.
A special purpose entity (SPE) is a business interest formed in order to perform a specific task or tasks. SPE’s are also referred to as off-balance sheet arrangements. SPE’s are formed to 1). Finance certain assets or services and keeping the associated debt off the balance sheet of the sponsors, 2).Transform certain financial assets, such as trade receivables, loans, or mortgages, into liquid securities, and 3). Engage in tax-free exchanges (Saroosh, 2004). Most of the SPE’s in the U.S. have been organized as limited liability corporations (LLC). A trust is also a common SPE in the U.S.
Intel’s capital structure dilemma was that it was holding too much cash on hand. Eventually, there were three available strategies or alternatives that Intel could undertake in terms of cash disbursement policies. First, it could continue or expand its market-repurchase program. Secondly, Intel could declare dividends to its shareholders on existing stocks. The last strategy is to put together a package of two unique securities: 1) A distribution of a two-year put warrant to its existing shareholders. 2) A distribution of 10-year convertible subordinated debentures to new
Finance. In order to finance our startup year, we issued stocks and borrowed loan to finance our operation and for safety in case the sales did not go well. Financing using stocks means that we are selling common or preferred stocks to individuals. In return for the money, they get some ownership over the company and its interest. This helps to bring public’s awareness about the company. If the sales suffice, we will pay the debt in the second round.
The issuance of risk-linked securities is a great strategy in supplementing traditional reinsurance, but these bonds still need to prove their value in the long-run.
Though bonds provide such safety, their yields are very low and have little potential for capital appreciation in the long-run for both the issuer and receiver. Besides, the low interest-rate of bonds makes the return on holding cash virtually non-existent (Voya & Scotia, 2009). Convertible bonds, however, offer a middle ground between the safety of bonds and the upside potential, and risk, of stocks. For this firm seeking income, higher-yielding convertibles bonds are the right options they can explore. This allows for the downside protection of a

Overall, tax expense would be lower, the value of the firm would increase and the riskiness of the company’s equity would edge just a touch higher.
This study will use securitisation theory and documentary analysis to find that increased security from terrorism in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (9/11) terrorism took precedence over the civil liberties of privacy and freedom. This paper focuses on how the George W. Bush Administration, hereby referred to as the Bush Administration, successfully justified the infringement of civil liberties post-9/11 although it will also include the revelations of Snowden in 2013 and how this impacted on public opinion. Bush used religious discourse following 9/11 to manipulate public opinion and create a “powerful spirit of unity” (Garfinkle, 2005). Security will be defined as political security, as described by the
In making the case for securitisation, scholars establish the substantial security risks of an outbreak which makes a security-based approach more appropriate, and highlight the substantial amount of resources and awareness that flows from, and is justified by, the securitisation process. On the first contention, It is argued that national borders are weakened by globalisation, allowing infectious diseases to spread at an alarming rate around the world, as demonstrated by the 2003 SARS pandemic. This allows diseases to have the capacity to detrimentally affect the stability and survival of virtually any country or region, and the effects of such instability detrimentally affect the security of many other states. Additionally, with the

In the aftermath of the economic recession which pulled down many global banks and exposed multiple weaknesses in regulation and banking structures, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision agreed to new rules on the minimum level (capital ratio) and composite structure of Banks capital on the 12th of September, 2010. Broadly speaking, the new rules which are widely referred to as Basel III (and are mainly Basel II plus new regulations based on lessons from the market crisis), still stipulate a minimum Total Capital Ratio of 8%. However, in addition to increasing the portion of the 8% requirement that is Core Tier 1 Capital (from 2% to
The Securities and Exchange Commission’s mission is to “protect investors, maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitate capital formation.” The purpose of this paper is to examine three recent federal security laws to see if they uphold all parts of the SEC’s mission.
