Features of Common Stock


• Voting rights (Cumulative vs. Straight)
• Proxy voting
• Classes of stock
• Other rights
• Share proportionally in declared dividends
• Share proportionally in remaining assets during
liquidation
• Preemptive right – first shot at new stock issue to
maintain proportional ownership if desired
5

Features of Preferred Stock


• Dividends
• Stated dividend must be paid before dividends can be
paid to common stockholders
• Dividends are not a liability of the firm, and preferred
dividends can be deferred indefinitely
• Most preferred dividends are cumulative – any missed
preferred dividends have to be paid before common
dividends can be paid
• Preferred stock generally does not carry voting
rights

The Bond Indenture


• Contract between the company and the bondholders
that includes:
• The basic terms of the bonds
• The total amount of bonds issued
• A description of property used as security, if
applicable
• Sinking fund provisions
• Call provisions
• Details of protective covenants
8

Bond Classifications
• Registered vs. Bearer Forms
• Security
• Collateral – secured by financial securities
• Mortgage – secured by real property, normally land or
buildings
• Debentures – unsecured
• Notes – unsecured debt with original maturity less
than 10 years
• Seniority
9

Required Yields
• The coupon rate depends on the risk characteristics
of the bond when issued
• Which bonds will have the higher coupon, all else
equal?
• Secured debt versus a debenture
• Subordinated debenture versus senior debt
• A bond with a sinking fund versus one without
• A callable bond versus a non-callable bond
10

Zero-Coupon Bonds
• Make no periodic interest payments (coupon rate =
0%)
• The entire yield to maturity comes from the
difference between the purchase price and the par
value
• Cannot sell for more than par value
• Sometimes called zeroes, deep discount bonds, or
original issue discount bonds (OIDs)
• Treasury Bills and principal-only Treasury strips are
good examples of zeroes
11

Pure Discount Bonds


Information needed for valuing pure discount bonds:
• Time to maturity (T) = Maturity date - today’s date

• Par value (face value, F)

• Discount rate (r)

Floating Rate Bonds


• Coupon rate floats depending on some index value
• Examples – adjustable rate mortgages and inflation-
linked Treasuries
• There is less price risk with floating rate bonds
• The coupon floats, so it is less likely to differ
substantially from the yield to maturity
• Coupons may have a “collar” – the rate cannot go
above a specified “ceiling” or below a specified
“floor”
14

Other Bond Types


• Income bonds

• Convertible bonds

• Put bonds

• There are many other types of provisions that can


be added to a bond, and many bonds have several
provisions – it is important to recognize how these
provisions affect required returns
15

Bank Loans
• Lines of Credit
• Provide a maximum amount the bank is willing to lend
• If guaranteed, referred to as a revolving line of credit

• Syndicated Loan
• Very large banks frequently have more demand for loans
than they have supply
• Small regional banks are often in the opposite situation
• As a result, a very large bank may arrange a loan with a
firm or country and then sell portions of the loan to a
syndicate of other banks
• A syndicated loan may be publicly traded
16

International Bonds
• Eurobonds: bonds denominated in a particular

currency and issued simultaneously in the bond


markets of several countries
• Foreign bonds: bonds issued in another nation’s

capital market by a foreign borrower


17

Patterns of Financing
• Internally generated cash flow dominates as a
source of financing
• This preference has increased through time

• Net stock buybacks accelerated in 2002-2007 in


the U.S.
• Declined in 2008, likely as a result of the
financial crisis

Recent Trends in Capital Structure


• Which are best: book or market values?
• In general, financial economists prefer market values
• However, many corporate treasurers may find book
values more appealing due to the volatility of market
values
• Whether we use book or market values, debt
ratios for U.S. non-financial firms have been
below 50 percent of total financing
