Public offering is not a term used only for stocks. However, if we consider the subject specifically for stocks due to the context of this article, we can define the question "What is a Public offering?" as "a Public offering is the totality of activities that include any call made for the purchase of a company's shares through any means and the share sales process carried out as a result of this call."
Public offerings are made in three ways, according to which a company can:
1. By increasing the capital through rights issue by restricting the pre-emptive rights of existing partners,
2. By offering the shares held by existing partners for sale and putting them into circulation,
3. Or by using both methods together, it can make a public offering partially by increasing the capital through rights issue and partially by selling the shares.
4. In public offerings that are realized through paid-in capital increases, there is an increase in the company's equity, which means that money is coming into the company's coffers.
The company in question can use this money that comes through capital increases to pay off debts or to finance new investments.
5. On the other hand, in public offerings that are realized through the sale of shares by existing partners,
there will be no cash inflow to the company. However, the only exception to this is the use of the shares that the
company holds within itself through share buybacks in the public offering. If the company also sells shares from its own assets,
this sale also provides cash inflow to the company.
a Public offering is the process by which a company offers its shares for sale to the general public for the first time. This process allows the company to move from private ownership to publicly traded status.
