(4 marks) Dilution of Percentage Ownership: Dilution of ownership can occur when the firm raises equity by issuing additional shares to the general public in the absence of the existing shareholders exercising their right of offering. If they decide to sell their rights offering, they can be compensated for the loss of percentage of ownership, however if they ignore the offering, it can be a substantial loss due to the fact that the share price, at least in the short term, will be reduced in price due to the equity raise using shares. Dilution of Market Value: I have to admit, the text does a poor job of clearly describing this on pages 606 and 607, the notes do a better job.
