    摘要: Leveraging an extensive dataset of U.S. private investment in public equity (PIPE) offerings, we investigate how investor capital gains tax rates influence PIPE offer prices. High capital gains tax rates correspond to lower offer prices than prevailing market rates. Unique data on PIPE investor identities, unavailable for initial public or seasoned equity offerings, reveals that this tax-price link weakens if investors bear significant capital losses in their non-PIPE stocks or already possess equity in the issuing firm. Moreover, the tax-price impact is lessened when PIPE issuers include investor protection terms in the contract or have a dividend history. A heightened capital gains tax rate elevates post-PIPE stock returns and reduces PIPE offering sizes. Subsample analysis shows this tax effect vanishing in instances of capital losses, where the offer price surpasses the closing price. In sum, our study bolsters the tax capitalization perspective on capital gains tax’s impact on stock prices.


    利用美国私人投资公开股票(PIPE)发行的大量数据集,我们研究了投资者资本利得税率如何影响PIPE发行价格。高资本利得税率对应较低的发行价格,低于市场现行价格。PIPE投资者身份的独特数据(首次公开或季度性股权发行中不可得的)揭示了如果投资者在非PIPE股票中承担了重大的资本损失,或者已经持有发行公司的股权,那么上述税与价格之间的联系会减弱。此外,如果PIPE发行方在合同中包含投资者保护条款或具有分红历史,税对价格的影响就会减弱。资本利得税率的增加提高了PIPE后期股票回报率,并减小了PIPE发行规模。子样本分析显示,在资本损失的情况下,税收效应在发行价格超过收盘价格的情况下消失。总的来说,我们的研究支持了对资本利得税对股票价格影响的税收资本化观点。
