Together they discuss and negotiate a price for the
security and the timing of the issue.
Depending on the size of the issue, the investment
banker may invite other firms to join in sharing the
risk and selling the issue.

Best Efforts OfferingBest Efforts Offering -- A security offering in which
the investment bankers agree to use only their best
efforts to sell the issuer’s securities. The
investment bankers do not commit to purchase any
unsold securities.
Shelf RegistrationShelf Registration -- A procedure whereby a
company is permitted to register securities it plans
to sell over the next two years; also called SEC RuleSEC Rule

Shelf Registration: FlotationShelf Registration: Flotation
Costs and Other AdvantagesCosts and Other Advantages
This competition reduces underwriting spreads.
The total fixed costs (legal and administrative) of
successive public debt issues are lower with a
single shelf registration than with a series of
traditional registrations.
The amount of “free” advice available from
underwriters is less than before shelf registration
was an alternative to firms.
A firm with securities sitting “on the shelf” can
require that investment banking firms
competitively bid for its underwriting business.

Standby ArrangementStandby Arrangement
Fee often composed of a flat fee and an additional
fee for each unsold share of stock.
The greater the risk of an unsuccessful rights
offering, the more desirable a standby arrangement.
Standby ArrangementStandby Arrangement -- A measure taken to
ensure the complete success of a rights
offering in which an investment banker or
group of investment bankers agrees to
“stand by” to underwrite any unsubscribed
(unsold) portion of the issue.

Oversubscription PrivilegeOversubscription Privilege
For example, shareholders subscribe for 450,000
shares of a 500,000-share rights offering. Let us
assume that some shareholders would like more
shares and oversubscribe by 80,000 shares.
As a result, each shareholder oversubscribing
receives 5/8ths (50,000 / 80,000) of a share for each
share oversubscribed.
Oversubscription PrivilegeOversubscription Privilege -- The right to
purchase, on a pro rata basis, any
unsubscribed shares in a rights offering.

versus Underwritten Issueversus Underwritten Issue
Investors are familiar with the firm’s operations
when using a rights offering.
The principal sales tool is a discounted price
(rights offering) and the investment banking
organization (underwriting).
A disadvantage of a rights offering is that the
shares will be sold at a lower price.
There is greater dilution with a rights offering
which many firms attempt to avoid.
There is a wider distribution of shares with a
public offering.
