This analysis delves into sample selection and exclusion criteria across various equity issuance mechanisms, specifically standalone private placements and rights offerings. Utilizing multivariate probit regression models, we uncover that high-quality firms tend to issue at lower price discounts while demonstrating lower idiosyncratic risks. Our findings reveal that firms with extensive ownership concentration prefer fixed-price placements, whereas larger entities favor standalone placements with book-building strategies, thus signaling their quality effectively to investors.

Table 9: Multivariate Probit Models of choosing Standalone Private Placement and pure rights offerings Decisions Panel A: Multivariate Probit Regression Analysis of the decision to issue a Standalone Private Placements with fixed price
Panel B: Multivariate Probit Regression Analysis of the decision to make a pure Rights Offering (without pre-renouncement)

Table 10: Quality of the Firm, Ownership Concentration and the Subscription Price Discount
Conclusion • We find support for our hypotheses that • High quality firms will signal their quality by selecting lower issue price discounts irrespective of the SEO issuance mechanism used; • High quality issuers will have lower Idiosyncratic risk. • High quality firms fully underwrite their shares to certify their quality
Conclusion • Widely dispersed and the largest firms will choose standalone placements with book building;
Conclusion • Firms with higher (lower) ownership concentration and lower (higher) shareholders expected takeup will choose fixed price placements (rights offerings)
