Investors believe that given asymmetric information, companies are more inclined to sell
equity when they are aware of their own overvaluation. As a result, when the equity issue is
announced, the stock price will decrease.

If the firm decides to issue equity, the market will assume there are side effects, so we take
into consideration the values for when there are side effects when computing the share price.

As mentioned in the previous questions, issuing shares means the market assumes the worst
case scenario, but, in a case where there is symmetric information, everyone will take into
consideration the average amounts, so the share price will be different.

A one-time dividend is called a special dividend. It’s important to give them a separate name
because they will happen one time and are also much larger than normal dividends.

Either with dividends or with share repurchase, investors will receive the same share price, so
they are indifferent.
