What is a Follow-on Public Offering (FPO)?
You must have heard about the Initial Public Offering (IPO), which is the fresh issue of shares of a newly listed company. Follow-on Public Offering (FPO) is a concept very similar.
It is the process of issuing new shares of an already listed company. FPO is also referred to as secondary offerings. This is also used as a means to diversify their equity base.
Generally, the purpose of an FPO is to either raise equity capital or reduce debt. Companies announcing secondary offerings witness a fall in the share price.
This is because the new shares are introduced at a price that is below the current market price.
