INTRODUCTION
Companies (Private and Public) need capital either to increase their
productivity or to increase their market reach or to diversify or to purchase
latest modern equipments.
Companies go in for IPO and if they have already gone for IPO then they
go for FPO.
The only thing they do in either IPO or FPO is to sell the shares or
debentures to investors.
(the term investor here represents retail investors, financial institutions,
government, high net worth individuals, banks etc).
Whether they issue shares or debentures totally depends upon the
concerned company.

4. 4
A share is one unit into which the total share capital is divided. Share
capital of the company can be explained as a fund or sum with which a
company is formed to carry on the business and which is raised by the
issue of shares.
A share is a security which represents a portion of the owner’s capital in a
business. Shareholders are the owners of the business. They share in the
success or failure of the business. This can be measured by the amount of
dividends that they receive and by the price of the share, quoted on the
stock market .
Shares are the marketable instruments issued by the companies in order
to raise the required capital.

market.

shareholders & debenture holders.

the amount of profits made by the company.

be given to equity share holders. Share holders can accept to it or
reject the offer during the annual general meeting.

placed before the company.

company is incorporated, but can be changed later
with shareholders' approval.

Today, I sat out on the balcony of my primary residence,
overlooking the river in the forest behind my house reading
through annual reports. A lot of time was spent on precious metals
companies as part of the ongoing series I've been rolling out here
at Investing for Beginners. Several hours, however, was spent
delving into the details of car companies; specifically Ford. I was
impressed by the move to repurchase their own debt at 35 cents
on the dollar in the open market so I thought it would be worth a
closer examination.
As I was reading page 115 of the annual report, I came across a
statement that is routine when studying companies with dual class
structures but I realized that many of you may not know how it
works. Here's the paragraph: "If liquidated, each share of Common
Stock will be entitled to the first $0.50 available for distributions to
holders of Common Stock and Class B Stock, each share of Class B
Stock will be entitled to the next $1.00 so available, each share of
Common Stock will be entitled to the next $0.50 so available and
each share of Common and Class B Stock will be entitled to an
equal amount thereafter."

27. 27
Looking at the most recent quarterly filing with the SEC, you
discover that Ford has 2,802,397,653 shares of regular common
stock and 70,852,076 shares of Class B stock. As you research
further, you discover that the regular shares are entitled to elect
60% of the Board of Directors with the Class B shares entitled to
elect 40%. Based upon the paragraph quoted above, they are
also entitled to different amounts if the company goes into
bankruptcy and there is anything remaining after the debts have
been paid.
Why does this exist? The Ford family owns all 70+ million shares
of the Class B stock. It is a way for them to ensure they keep
control of the company no matter how much stock they have to
issue to avoid bankruptcy. Some argue that dual class structures
are inherently unfair because you are decoupling ownership from
voting power. I'm not sure I agree simply because everyone
accepted those terms when the shares were first issued so you
knew what you were getting into at the outset. The liquidation
provisions, if I'm reading the details correctly, help to ensure that
the Ford family walks away with more than the regular
stockholders who bought their shares on the open market through
a brokerage account in the event of a catastrophic liquidation.

28. 28
Doesn't Anyone Remember Ford's $10 Billion Dividend?
One thing that interest me is that Ford burned through $21 billion in
cash last year as a result of the global economic collapse. Yet, it was
only nine years ago in 2000 that the company restructured and paid
out a $10 billion special dividend. According to an article from that
time - which, keep in mind, this is old - "The Ford family holds all 71
million shares of the company's Class B stock, along with a small
number of the company's 1.1 billion common shares. Under rules
designed to preserve family control and drafted when the company
went public in 1956, the family holds 40 percent of the voting power
at the company as long as it continues to own at least 60.7 million
shares of the Class B stock -- even though the Class B shares make up
only 6 percent of the company's overall equity."The article goes on to
point out, "If the family sells too many shares of its Class B stock,
whether to pay estate taxes, cover personal expenses or simply
participate in a stock buyback, then the family's influence shrinks. If
the family's holdings fall to between 33.7 million and 60.7 million
shares of Class B stock, the family wields only 30 percent of the voting
power. And if the family's holdings fall below 33.7 million shares then
all special voting privileges are lost.

29. 29
When Class B shares are sold outside the family, they revert to
common stock. Under today's plan, each holder of Ford's
common or Class B stock will be given a choice of receiving $20
a share in cash or additional common stock. William C. Ford Jr.,
Ford's chairman and one of Henry Ford's 13 great-grandchildren,
said that the members of the Ford family would take additional
stock for all of their Class B stock. Most if not all family
members will put the additional distribution into the family's
voting trust, he added."
You can accuse the car companies of completely inept
management but you certainly have to give credit to the
members of the Ford family for putting their money where their
mouth is. They are married into the business lock, stock, and
barrel.

CONCLUSION
No doubt equity shares have both advantages and
disadvantages but the fact is that equity shares are the most
sought financial instruments for both investment or for
speculation.
