  1. Lecture Nine Raising Capital: Sources of Long Term Financing • Internal Sources: • Retained Earnings • Depreciation • External Sources: • Borrowing: • Bonds (TB, MB, FB, and CB) • Loans (banks, insurance and finance Cos.) Both have restrictions and conditions covered in covenants, or contract. • Selling Stock: • Preferred • Common

  2. Key Features of a Bond 1. Par value: Face amount; paid at maturity. Assume $1,000. 2. Coupon interest rate: Stated interest rate. Multiply by par to get $ of interest. Generally fixed.

  3. 3. Maturity: Years until bond must be repaid. Declines. 4. Issue date: Date when bond was issued.

  4. How does adding a “call provision” affect a bond? • Issuer can refund if rates decline. That helps the issuer but hurts the investor. • Therefore, borrowers are willing to pay more, and lenders require more, on callable bonds. • Most bonds have a deferred call and a declining call premium.

  5. What’s a sinking fund? • Provision to pay off a loan over its life rather than all at maturity. • Similar to amortization on a term loan. • Reduces risk to investor, shortens average maturity. • But not good for investors if rates decline after issuance.

  6. Sinking funds are generally handled in 2 ways 1. Call x% at par per year for sinking fund purposes. 2. Buy bonds on open market. Company would call if kd is below the coupon rate and bond sells at a premium. Use open market purchase if kd is above coupon rate and bond sells at a discount.

  8. What factors affect default risk and bond ratings? • Financial performance • Debt ratio • TIE, FCC ratios • Current ratios

  9. Provisions in the bond contract • Secured vs. unsecured debt • Senior vs. subordinated debt • Guarantee provisions • Sinking fund provisions • Debt maturity

  10. Other factors • Earnings stability • Regulatory environment • Potential product liability • Accounting policies

  11. Insolvency • Insufficient cash to meet interest and principal payments may induce

  12. Bankruptcy • Two main chapters of Federal Bankruptcy Act: • Chapter 11, Reorganization • Chapter 7, Liquidation • Typically, company wants Chapter 11, creditors may prefer Chapter 7.

  13. If company can’t meet its obligations, it files under Chapter 11. That stops creditors from foreclosing, taking assets, and shutting down the business. • Company has 120 days to file a reorganization plan. • Court appoints a “trustee” to supervise reorganization. • Management usually stays in control.

  14. Company must demonstrate in its reorganization plan that it is “worth more alive than dead.” Otherwise, judge will order liquidation under Chapter 7.

  15. If the company is liquidated, here’s the payment priority: 1. Secured creditors from sales of secured assets. 2. Trustee’s costs 3. Wages, subject to limits 4. Taxes 5. Unfunded pension liabilities 6. Unsecured creditors 7. Preferred stock 8. Common stock

  16. In a liquidation, unsecured creditors generally get zero. This makes them more willing to participate in reorganization even though their claims are greatly scaled back. • Various groups of creditors vote on the reorganization plan. If both the majority of the creditors and the judge approve, company “emerges” from bankruptcy with lower debts, reduced interest charges, and a chance for success.

  17. Facts about Common Stock • Represents ownership. • Ownership implies control. • Stockholders elect directors. • Directors elect management. • Management’s goal: Maximize stock price.

  18. Social/Ethical Question Should management be equally concerned about employees, customers, suppliers, “the public,” or just the stockholders? In enterprise economy, work forstockholders subject to constraints (environmental, fair hiring, etc.) and competition.

  19. What’s classified stock? How might classified stock be used? • Classified stock has special provisions. • Could classify existing stock as founders’ shares, with voting rights but dividend restrictions. • New shares might be called “Class A” shares, with voting restrictions but full dividend rights.

  20. When is a stock sale an initial public offering (IPO)? A firm “goes public” through an IPO when the stock is first offered to the public.
