1. Larry must have signed a proxy that gives the management group control over his shares
2. Larry's current investment = No of shares * Value of share
= 2000 * 47 = 94000
3. If company issues additional shares Larry's investment will be worth as below:
Value of share after issue = (Total shares before issue * Value of share before) + (Additional shares issued * Value of issue) / Total no of shares
Value of share after issue = (20000*47) + (5000*37.60) / (20000 + 5000)
= ( 940000 + 188000 ) / 25000
= 1128000 / 25000 = 45.12
Larry's current investment = 2000 * 45.12 = 90240
4. This scenario is an example of dilution
5. Larry could be protected if firm's corporate charter includes a preemptive right
6. If Larry exercises the provision in corporate charter to protect his stake, his investment in firm will become 112800
It is explained as below:
Larry's % of holding before issue = 2000 / 20000 = 0.10 or 10%
Thus to maintain his share of 10% he will have to purchase 500 shares (5000 shares * 10%) from the additional issue.
Value of new issue = No of shares * Value of share
= 500 * 37.60 = 18800
Value of shares before issue = 94000 (calculated in part 2)
Value after issue = Value of shares before issue + Value of new issue
= 94000 + 18800 = 112800
