Tiger Brews is a Columbia, MO based brewer of breakfast beer. They went public seven years ago with an issuance of 5 million shares which, as of yesterday, were trading at $50.67 per share. They are looking to raise capital to start-up a chain of brewpubs in St. Louis by issuing an additional 1.5 million shares tomorrow in a Seasoned Equity Offering (SEO).
Management expects the current publicly traded shares to drop 2.5% at tomorrow's offering and remain at that price after the offering. However their investment bank, hoping for a fully subscribed offering, has suggested an offer price of $49.56 for those investors allocated shares from the SEO (i.e. there will likely be underpricing). The investment banker intends to charge a 7% spread for a firm commitment underwriting of the issue and $250,000 in legal and registration fees. The management team also estimates that at least one month's worth of the CFO's available man-hours were dedicated to preparing the offering and the CFO currently earns $120,000 per year.
What is the total dollar amount of expenses (direct and indirect) associated with Tiger Brew's SEO?
