[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 15722, member: 1160"] Very interesting questions and thank you for sharing. I think with the FTSE 100/250 part I’d be inclined to say that it’s a prestige thing for the company and also its attractiveness to potential shareholders. I think you could arguably make the point that FTSE 250 companies are those which are relatively more risky but that do offer a higher rate of return if their growth potential comes to fruition so you could make that point I guess so as to not seem too negative about the 250 index. lowering the price of the shares is also relatively tricky. It means the company will not be generating as much cash from the listing as it would have done if the shares were selling at $22. Listings tend to be underwritten which means a bank promises to buy whatever shares are not bought by the public so you could argue that with that slightly better price there could be a diminished risk of the bank having to underwrite the shares. If it is publicly known that the shares have been devalued then this could be a point to state that there might be some degree of reputation damage or a bit of a question over the company’s strength and performance. If not, then it might not be too significant and merely indicate an initial share valuation was incorrect. not sure if this is ‘right’ but without researching and just going off what I know and understand that’s what I would’ve said and come up with :) [/QUOTE]
