14. Rights Valley Corp.’s stock is currently selling at $43 per share. There are 1.3
million shares outstanding. The firm is planning to raise $2.9 million to finance a new
project. What are the ex-rights stock price, the value of a right, and the appropriate
subscription prices under the following scenarios?
a. Two shares of outstanding stock are entitled to purchase one additional share of the
new issue.
b. Four shares of outstanding stock are entitled to purchase one additional share of the
new issue.
c. How does the stockholders’ wealth change from part (a) to part (b)?
a. + The number of new shares offered through the rights offering is the existing
shares divided by the rights per share, or:
And the new price per share after the offering will be:
P = (Current market value + Proceeds from offer) / (Old shares + New shares)
+ The subscription price is the amount raised divided by the number of new
shares offered, or:
Subscription price = $2,900,000 / 650,000 = $4,46
And the new price per share after the offering will be:
P = (Current market value + Proceeds from offer) / (Old shares + New shares)
+ The subscription price is the amount raised divided by the number of number
of new shares offered, or:
c. (a):
- Total shares after the issue: 1.950.000
- Ex-rights price: $30.15
- Total value: 1.950.000 × 30.15 = $58.792.500
(b):
- Total shares after the issue: 1.625.000
- Ex-rights price: $36.18
- Total value: 1.625.000 × 36.18 = $58.792.500
-> Conclusion: The total value remains the same in both scenarios, indicating
no change in stockholders' wealth.
