Indian Regulations

Securities issuance in India is now dominated by private placements. Often, we hear about the "impending scam" in the private placements market. SEBI typically restricts potential self-dealing in private placements by either:

(i) prohibiting managers from participating in private placements altogether, (ii) placing restrictions on the issue price in a private placement - to ensure that managers are unable to expropriate shareholder wealth by issuing shares to themselves or other\friendly investors at huge discounts.

Indian Regulations

The generally positive market reaction to announcements of private placement issues of equity (in contrast to the generally negative reaction to public issues made through conventional secondary equity offerings) suggests that the market infers a positive signal about firm value when a private placement is announced.

Performance following Private Placement of Equity

Research paper by Hertzel, Lemmon, Linck and Rees (Journal of Finance, 2002). We picked 44 listed Indian companies for our study. Identified the market price of companies on pre-announcement and post-announcement of private equity Recorded the performance of share at -3 days, announcement day, 1month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 3 year.

Performance following Private Placement of Equity

We calculated BHR and BHAR to identify whether these public companies that place equity privately experience positive announcements effects, with negative postannouncement stock-price performance.

Impact on existing Shareholders

The natural effect of such a transaction would be some reduction in the percentage ownership of existing shareholders.
