    Subjects: Management Science >> Other Disciplines of Management Science submitted time 2024-03-16

    Abstract: This article studies the role of bond issuance in building a cooperative relationship between underwriters and issuers. The results show that, firstly, bond issuance is an effective means for underwriters to establish cooperative relationships with listed companies. Both bond issuance experience and stock IPO issuance experience can significantly increase the probability of underwriters participating in the next private equity placement by the same issuer. Secondly, underwriters in IPOs of listed companies will reduce the risk premium of bonds to stabilize customer relationships by improving the quality of bond issuance; Listed companies are indeed more inclined to choose underwriters who have participated in their stock IPOs to issue bonds to enjoy lower financing costs. Thirdly, utilizing existing partnerships for bond issuance means that listed companies have higher risks. During the bond’s maturity, these issuers’ stocks are more likely to be subject to special treatment (ST) due to deteriorating fundamentals. In summary, these results provide evidence for the role of securities underwriting relationships in the Chinese capital market and also provide a reference for subsequent regulatory policy reforms.

    Abstract: This article analyzes the impact of revising the China Securities Regulatory Commission’s private equity placement rules in 2017. Based on the private placement events from 2013 to 2020, we have a series of empirical findings. Firstly, policy reforms have weakened the ability of listed companies to timing in new stock issuance, and the phenomenon of stock prices excessively rising before issuance and sharply falling after issuance has significantly weakened. Secondly, the new regulatory policies have promoted the role of market-oriented pricing mechanisms in private equity placement, resulting in a decrease in the discount on stock issuance and an increase in the issuer quality. Thirdly, investor sentiment is an important factor for listed companies to conduct timing issuances. Policy modifications have suppressed the ability of listed companies to use investor sentiment to issue stocks at high prices, thereby reducing stock price fluctuations. These findings explain the reasons for the unsatisfactory returns of domestic stock issuance participants and evaluate the effectiveness of policy reforms.
