Solution
Benefits of going public -
- Access to capital - The primary advantage an entrepreneur stands to gain by going public is access to capital. In addition, the capital does not have to be repaid and does not involve an interest charge.
- Other advantages -
- Mergers and acquisitions: Public stock of a company can be used for businesses to grow through acquisitions.
- Higher valuations: Public companies are typically valued more than private companies.
- Benchmark trading price: The trading price of a public company’s stock serves as a benchmark of the offer price of other securities.
- Capital formation: Raising capital later is typically easier because of the extra liquidity for the investors.
- Less dilution: There is less dilution of ownership control compared to an IPO.
Drawbacks:
- Increasing accountability to public shareholders
- Need to maintain dividend and profit growth trends
- Becoming more vulnerable to an unwelcome takeover.
- Need to observe and adhere strictly to the rules and regulations of governing bodies.
- Increasing costs in complying with a higher level of reporting requirements.

ISQM SOLAR Limited is searching for options to raise Rs. 20,000 crores from the primary market for diversification and modernisation of existing projects. It hired the services of a renowned financial consultancy firm, DHAN LAXMI Pvr LTD. to suggest options for the same. DHAN LAXMI PVI LTD. suggested a list of options to the Board of Directors of the company. It was decided that for the immediate requirement of Rs. 1,500 crores, the company will give a privilege to existing shareholders to subscribe to a new issue of shares according to the terms and conditions of the company. Rs. 4,500 crores would be raised by allotment of securities to a consortium of financial institutions, instead of inviting subscription from the public by making a direct appeal to investors to raise capital. It was further decided to raise capital to the tune of Rs. 6,000 crores through an issuing house. All these options were accepted by the Board of Directors. The Board further decided to raise Rs. 8,000 crores through the online system of the stock exchange by entering into an agreement with the exchange.
