Costly Self‐Insurance of Rights Offerings
JOURNAL OF BUSINESS FINANCE & ACCOUNTING(2015)
摘要
We study how the underwriting decision of an equity rights offering is affected by the risk of offering failure. Firms can reduce failure risk by getting underwriting or by self-insuring through subscription price discounts and subscription precommitments. Self-insurance is generally regarded to be relatively costless, but we provide evidence from Singapore that is consistent with the existence of implicit costs. In particular, the existence of self-insurance costs implies that firms with better projects will have larger discounts and that firms with higher ownership concentration will have more precommitments. Hence, our results support costly self-insurance against issue failure as a factor in explaining the rights issue paradox.
