Basic Buildings Inc. has decided to go public with a $5,000,000 new equity issue. Its investment bankers agreed to take a smaller fee now (6 percent of par value versus 10 percent) in exchange for a 1-year option to purchase an additional 200,000 shares of the company at $5.00 per share. The investment banking firm expects to exercise its option and purchase the 200,000 shares in exactly one year's time when the stock price is expected to be $6.50 per share.
