Abstract | This paper examines why Australian firms issue standalone warrants and how the market perceives this type of capital raising method. We find that firms with smaller size, smaller issue proceeds, higher risk and lower ownership concentration choose standalone warrants rather than rights issues of equity to raise equity capital. Price reactions to standalone warrant announcements are significantly and positively related to takeup and underwriting status consistent with the findings of Balachandran, Faff and Theobald (JFE, 2008) for the announcements of rights issues of equity. |
