What are the benefits for a shareholder to a joint venture in financing the joint venture company using debt, such as loan note or loans, as opposed to solely equity? There are two principal advantages in funding a joint venture company by way of debt rather than equity. However, these advantages need to be carefully evaluated in the light of tax issues. The first advantage is that loans may carry interest, either at fixed or variable rates. Interest may be paid by the joint venture company from any available funds (unlike dividends on shares, which may be paid only from net realised profits). Furthermore, interest payments will usually (subject to the precise circumstances) be deductible in calculating the joint venture company's taxable profits, whereas dividends would never be deductible expenses. However, this basic position may be affected if the joint venture company and one or more of its shareholders are connected (as defined). In certain circumstances, the deductibility of interest payments may be restricted or delayed....
What are the options for emergency equity fundraisings for listed companies in light of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic? With the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continuing to cause significant economic turmoil, many listed companies may need to raise funds quickly through equity capital fundraisings. Equity fundraisings can be split into two different types: pre-emptive offerings and non-pre-emptive offerings. In a pre-emptive offering, such as a rights issue or an open offer, shareholders are given the opportunity to subscribe in the fundraising pro-rata to their existing shareholdings. In a non-pre-emptive offering, such as a placing, shares are offered to selected investors and this will see the holdings of existing shareholders in the company diluted. The key types of secondary fundraisings which a listed company may consider in an emergency situation are discussed below. Placing In a placing, shares are usually offered to a selected group of institutional investors for cash. The placing is generally structured so that it falls within one of the exemptions from the requirement to publish...
