Assume that the president of Freeman Industries Inc. made the following statement in the Annual Report to Shareholders:
"The founding family and majority shareholders of the company do not believe in using debt to finance future growth. The founding family leamed from hard experience during Prohibition and the Great Depression that debt can cause loss of flexibility and eventual loss, corporate control. The company will not place itself at such risk. As such, all future growth will be financed either by stock sales to the public or by internally generated resources."
As a public shareholder of this company, how would you respond to this policy?
The president of Freeman Industries Inc. made the following statement in the annual report to shareholders: “The founding family and majority shareholders of the company do not believe in using debt to finance future growth. The founding family learned from hard experience during the Great Depression that debt can cause loss of flexibility and eventual loss of corporate control. The company will not place itself at such risk again.As such, all future growth will be financed either by stock sales to the public or by internally generated resources.”Write a brief memo to the company’s president, Boss Freeman, outlining the errors in his logic.
A privately held corporation, is making plans for future investments that can increase growth. The company’s manager has recommended that the company “go public” by issuing common stock to raise the funds needed to support the growth. The current owners, who founded the firm, are worried that control of the firm will be diluted by this strategy. If the company undertakes an IPO, it is estimated that each share of stock will sell for $6.25, the investment banking fee will be 22 percent of the total value of the issue.
The founders now hold all of the company’s stock: 8 million shares. If the company issues 8 million shares, what proportion of the stock will the founders own after the IPO?
