Conversion privileges a conversion privilege allows preferred stockholders to convert their shares into common shares at a predetermined conversion ratio. Participation feature allows preferred shareholders to share ratably with common stockholders in dividends.
Holders of convertible preferred are entitled to $2.67 dividends per share. Each share of convertible preferred stock is entitled to 3/10 of a vote per share. Holders of convertible preferred have a preference in liquidation over common shareholders amounting to $30.50. Each share of convertible preferred is convertible into 6.601 shares of common stock. Fortune Brands has an option to redeem each share at a price of $30.50; upon redemption, the preferred shareholder will receive that cash amount and will surrender that share to the company.
Par value of $0.01 per share. Hewitt has authorized the issuance of 750 million class.
To illustrate, assume that Hewitt issues 100,000 shares of its $0.01 par value common stock at a market price of $43 cash per share:
To illustrate, assume that 3,000 common shares of Hewitt previously issued for $43 are repurchased for $40:
Now assume that these 3,000 shares are subsequently resold for $42 cash per share.:
Assume that a company has 15,000 shares of $50 par value, 8% preferred stock outstanding and 50,000 shares of $5 par value common stock outstanding. During its first three years in business, the company declares $20,000 dividends in the first year, $260,000 of dividends in the second year, and $60,000 of dividends in the third year. If the preferred stock is cumulative, the total amount of dividends paid to each class of stock in each of the three years follows:
Assume that a company has 1 million shares of $5 par common stock outstanding. It then declares a small stock dividend of 15% of the outstanding shares when the market price of the stock is $30 per share. This small stock dividend has the following financial statement effects:
To illustrate the effect of a large stock dividend, assume that the company now declares a large stock dividend of 70% of the outstanding shares when the market price of the stock is $30 per share ($5 par value). The large stock dividend will have the following effects on the balance sheet:
Corporate divestitures have become increasingly common as companies seek to increase shareholder value through partial or total divestiture of operating units. In general, these equity carve outs are motivated by the notion that consolidated financial statements often obscure the performance of individual business units, thus complicating their evaluation by market analysts.
Hewitt received $42,420,000 cash. The Cyborg business was carried on Hewitts balance sheet as an investment with a book value of $6,753,000 million (inferred from the proceeds less gain). Hewitts gain on sale equaled the sale proceeds less the book value: $42,420,000 6,753,000 = $35,667,000 gain on sale. Hewitt reports the gain on sale in its 2008 income from continuing operations. Hewitt subtracts the $35,667,000 gain from net income in its statement of cash flows to compute net cash flows from operations since the transaction generated a noncash operating gain (the $42,420,000 cash inflow is reporting under investing activities).
Halliburton exchanged with its shareholders 135.6 million shares of KBR common stock that it owned for 85.3 million shares of common stock of Halliburton that its shareholders owned. This exchange is treated like the purchase of treasury stock. Because the exchange was on a non-pro rata basis, Halliburton increased the carrying value of the KBR shares to their fair value on the date of exchange, resulting in an after-tax gain on this transaction of $933 million.
