GM's equity value is $30 million with 6 million shares outstanding. GM raises an additional $4 million by placing 1 million shares at $4 each to a group of institutional investors. Assuming that the current equity value of GM is unaffected by other information in the placement announcement, what is the post placement wealth of the old shareholders closest to?
a. $25.71m.
b. $29.14
c. $27.32m.
d. $30.86m.
Answer:-
GM's Equity value before placement = $30 Million
Shares outstanding before placement = 6 Million
Per share price before placement = $30M/6M= $5 Per share
Placement value = $ 4 Million
Price per share = $ 4
Number of shares placed = 1 Million
Total number of shares after additional placement = 6 Million + 1 Million = 7 Million
Post placement value = $30 Million + $4 Million = $34 Million
Price per share after placement = $34 Million/7 Million = $4.857
Post placement value of old share holders = 6 Million * $4.86 = $29.14 Million
So, the answer is Option (b) - $29.14 Million
