Abstract

How are companies, products and projects funded? The chapter first covers internal funding and self-financing. It then moves to debt financing—senior and subordinated debt, commercial paper, corporate bonds and so on. Also discussed are other types of debt: securitization; vendor, buyer and lease financing; and government loans. The chapter then moves to the various types of equity financing: limited partnerships in films and technology; private equity; angels; crowdsourcing; venture capital; and initial public offerings (IPOs) and secondary public offerings (SPOs). The last part of the chapter investigates media ownership and its impact on content—by individuals, institutional investors and governments. The concluding section deals with the question of a capital structure that is optimal for company operations and value. These themes are tracked in the case discussion, which compares the financing options available to an established media firm (Time Warner) and to a start-up.

    The ceiling on tier 2 issues is usually around $6–8 billion. For example, the Walt Disney Company had a substantial $4.5 billion in outstanding Tier 2 CP debt in 2004.

    These tax shelters allow investors to write-off 40% or more of their investments against their taxes; subject to the upper limit of 25% of taxable income, and subsequently capped at €18,000. If such an entity, known as a SOFICA, uses 10% of its investment capital to acquire shares of production companies, then this deduction increases to 43%. Production companies may immediately write off 50% of the amount invested. Another major support mechanism is the quasi-monopoly status of the pay-TV provider Canal Plus, whose high consumer prices generate revenues that must be partly used for domestic film support.

    In order to estimate the rate at which two assets co-vary, one multiplies the deviation in performance of asset A by the deviation of asset B in each of the N scenarios and then average the products. If A and B are two projects with returns r and probabilities p, then the covariance between the return on A and the return on B is as follows:

    $$ \mathrm{COV}\left({r}_{\mathrm{A}},{r}_{\mathrm{B}}\right)=\sum \limits_{i=1}^n{p}_i\left[{r}_{i\mathrm{A}}-E\left({r}_{\mathrm{A}}\right)\right]\left[{r}_{i\mathrm{B}}-E\left({r}_{\mathrm{B}}\right)\right] $$

    The concept of relatedness that the co-variance expresses can also be stated as the correlation. The statistical correlation between two variables is the co-variance, “normalized” to lie between +1 and −1. Such normalization is done by dividing the co-variance by the product of the variances of the two variables. For the two projects A and B, the correlation between the return on A and the return on B is as follows:

    $$ \rho \left({r}_A,{r}_B\right)=\frac{\mathit{\operatorname{cov}}\left({r}_A,{r}_B\right)}{\sigma \left({r}_A,{r}_B\right)} $$

Stocks and options on movies can be purchased and sold. The exchange also offers bonds on actors and actresses in which value is accrued based on revenue generated by their movies.

    The term “institutional investors” formally applies only to entities that hold themselves out as primarily engaged in investing, reinvesting, or trading securities. Accordingly, actual institutional ownership of media companies may be understated by most data sources. For example, if Company A is partly owned by a Company B, which does not fall into the category of “institutional investor,” then B’s investment will not be counted in the overall institutional ownership figures for Company A, even though B may be largely owned by institutions. Moreover, the SEC does not require disclosure of institutional investors that own less than 5% of a company. However, many companies list such ownerships anyway.

  167. 167.

    In the USA, institutional investors are required to file disclosure information when they own 5% or more of a publicly traded company. They are limited in their ability to profit on shares held for less than six months once they reach the 10% ownership threshold. If a mutual fund wants to promote itself as “diversified” and gain pass-through tax benefits, then the regulated 75% of the fund cannot own more than 10% of a company in its portfolio. Furthermore, a “diversified” fund cannot have more than 5% of its total assets invested in a single company (Investment Company Act of 1940). Therefore only 25% of a fund, the unregulated portion, can be concentrated in a single stock. Pension funds fall under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), which requires each fund to diversify. But under ERISA, pension fund managers are given some leeway to avoid diversification if it is “clearly prudent” not to do so.
