Capital Raising and Management

CLAW3204

The raising of equity and debt capital from the public is central to the operation of Australia's economic development. This unit is focussed on the legal nature of common forms of capital raising, both equity and debt, and their legal and non-legal (through ASX listing rules) regulation as well as the redemption of capital. It deals with capital raising, management and redemption from a commercial risk perspective as well as from a legal and regulatory perspective and considers Australian and international reform initiatives which have been given new emphasis as a result of the Global Financial Crisis. Topics covered include forms of equity capital raising (including IPOs, rights issues and placements) and their regulation; forms of debt capital raising (including securitisation, syndicated lending, structured and project finance, debentures, company charges, corporate bonds and security techniques) and their regulation; and strategies for redemption of debt and equity capital.
