ORDINARY SHARES (COMMON STOCK) p PREFERENCE SHARES (PREFERRED STOCK) p STAFF SHARES p



ORDINARY SHARES - form the backbone of the financial structure of a business, - there is no fixed rate of dividend, ordinary shareholders receive a dividend only if profits available for distribution remain, - are the basic form of ownership in a company, - all above named shareholder´s rights are associated with them



ORDINARY SHARES • Advantages of issue: - no fixed dividends, - appropriate for highly leveraged companies, - can be sold more easily compared to preferred shares • Disadvantages of issue: - associated with higher risk for the investor, - dividend does not reduce the tax base, - high cost of issue, - dilution of control by the increased number of shareholders



PREFERENCE SHARES - offer a lower level of risk than ordinary shares - are normally given a fixed rate of dividend and dividends are paid before ordinary dividends are paid - preference shareholders may be given priority over other claims of ordinary shareholders in case a business is closed down



PREFERENCE SHARES – types: • cumulative preference shares – the company is obliged to pay the dividend if it makes a profit, in case of a loss, the dividend will be accumulated and paid in the following years, • non-cumulative preference shares – dividend will not be accumulated if it is unpaid, • participating preference shares – allow the possibility of additional dividend above the stated amount under certain conditions, • convertible preference shares – carry the option to be converted into ordinary shares at a prescribed price



PREFERENCE SHARES • Advantages of issue: - relative stability of dividends if profit increases - the increase of capital is possible without limiting the influence of shareholders - lower dividend claims • Disadvantages of issue: - dividend does not reduce the tax base - the issuer has to pay dividend even when the profit decreases

Rights issue (rights offering, pre-emptive right) p

p

p

an issue of ordinary shares to existing shareholders, in which each shareholder is issued an option to buy a specified number of new shares from the firm at a specified price within a specified time, after which the rights expire; the terms of the option are evidenced by certificates known as share warrants or rights such rights are often traded on securities exchanges or over the counter, i.e. they are a normally tradeable security themselves the price at which the shares are offered (subscription price) is usually at a discount to the current market share price


Rights issue (rights offering, pre-emptive right) p p

OPERATION BLANCHE a purchase of new shares without the employment of own capital - a shareholder sells exactly as many subscription rights in a regular capital increase as would be required to exercise the remaining rights issues and pay the issue price using the proceeds from the sale of the rights - after an operation blanche, the relative share of the share capital, however, will decrease


Rights issue (rights offering, pre-emptive right) A.a + B .b N= a+b PO = A − N A− B PO = a / b +1
