Chapter 18, Problem 7MC
Summary Introduction
Case summary:
Restaurant R, a family-owned restaurant chain based in Country A, has grown to the point where it is feasible to expand across the entire Southeast. The planned expansion would allow the company to raise new capital of approximately $18.3 million. The family would like to sell common stock to the public to collect the $18.3 million because Restaurant R's already has a debt ratio of 50 percent and because family members already have all their personal wealth invested in the company. The family, however, wants to retain power over voting.
To discuss: The companies going public use a negotiated deal or a competitive bid.
