RE:RE:RE:Shares for DebtAn equity offering is not"debt".
In short, an equity offering is when a company sells shares of its business to outside investors as a means of raising capital. Doing so results in a cash injection that can then be used to invest in the company any way its management believes is an effective way of growing the company.
Equity offerings can occur as an Initial Public Offering (IPO) or at later stages after an IPO, known as secondary offerings. Equity offerings are a way of raising capital without putting debt on balance sheets that has to be repaid to lenders.
