(1)Private issue of public equity is the best re-financing method for China’s listed companies。Through comparison between different financing policies such as rights issues,seasoned equity offering and private issue of public equity,this book finds that the issue criteria of private issue of public equity is easy to reach,and this financing method helps to solve the asymmetric information problem in new share issue。Thus China’s listed companies should firstly choose private issue of public equity when equity re-financing is needed,seasoned equity offering is the second choice,and the last is rights issues。In addition,this book examines the choice of the three financing methods,and provides full support for the theoretic analysis from the univariarate test and the multivariate regression analysis。
This book compares private issue of public equity of China’s listed companies and convertible bond financing。And finds that China’s listed companies choose private issue of public equity better than convertible bond financing,which is different from the choice in Amercian or European securities market。
(2)The announcement abnormal returns of private issue of public equity to related investors are higher than those of private issue of public equity to non-related investors。This book argues that,with asymmetric information,related investors have much more information on listed companies than non-related investors。If related investors are willing to subscribe new shares issued by the listed company,it implies that the listed company has profit projects or high growth in the future。This conveys a much better signal to the security market。Thus,the announcement abnormal returns of private issue of public equity to related investors are higher than those of private issue of public equity to non-related investors。Both the univariarate test and the multivariate regression analysis provide full support for the theoretic analysis。
(3)The issuing object of private issue of public equity has much impact on the discount rate of private issue of public equity。The discount rate of private issue of public equity to controlling shareholders and related investors is lower than that of private issue of public equity to non-controlling shareholders and related investors。This book examines the determinants of the discount rate of private issue of public equity by listed companies in China’s security market。Both univariarate test and the multivariate regression analysis provide full support for the theoretic analysis。
(4)The lower the discount rate of private issue of public equity is,the higher the investors’cumulative abnormal returns are。This book argues that,with asymmetric information,when institutional investors are willing to subscribe the shares of private issue of public equity at a lower discount rate,it indicates that the listed company has well-profit projects or a promised growth in the future。This will convey a positive signal to the security market。Therefore,private issue of public equity with a lower issuing discount rate has higher announcement abnormal returns,and vice versa。This book examines the relationship between the discount rate and the cumulative abnormal returns,and provides full support for the theoretic analysis。
(5)The empirical results of this book suggest that private issue of public equity should be encouraged in China’s listed companies。In order to promote the private issue of public equity in China,the author suggests that the monitoring on the process of private issue of public equity and the supervision over the pricing of private issue of public equity should be strengthened。
