ABSTRACT

This paper examines the stock price movements around 2,496 announcements of corporate financing decisions, such as seosoned equity offerings, free issue of new shares, convertible bond issuances, and bond with warrants issuances. The results show that stock prices have moved before the announcements and to the directions expected to be observed after announcements. This paper measures the amount of information leakage in line with Meulbroek (1992) and finds that substantial amount of information which ranges from 63.06% to 85.44% has been leaked before the announcements. KOSDAQ shows relatively severe information leakage compared to KSE which implies that KOSDAQ has more room to improve its market efficiency by enforcing rules and regulations.
