Initial Public Offering
An initial public offering (IPO) or stock launch is a public offering in which shares of a company are sold to institutional investors and usually also to retail (individual) investors. An IPO is typically underwritten by one or more investment banks, who also arrange for the shares to be listed on one or more stock exchanges. Through this process, colloquially known as ''floating'', or ''going public'', a privately held company is transformed into a public company. Initial public offerings can be used to raise new equity capital for companies, to monetize the investments of private shareholders such as company founders or private equity investors, and to enable easy trading of existing holdings or future capital raising by becoming publicly traded. After the IPO, shares are traded freely in the open market at what is known as the free float. Stock exchanges stipulate a minimum free float both in absolute terms (the total value as determined by the share price multiplied by the ...

Reid's
Reid's was an 11-store chain located in various rural South Carolina communities, specifically Barnwell, Orangeburg, Langley, New Ellenton, Batesburg, Walterboro, St. George, Aiken, Saluda, Cayce, and Hampton. Most of these stores were all former Food Lion stores and carried Food Lion branded goods and used the Food Lion infrastructure. The common theme to these stores appeared to be that they were all older stores which Food Lion had apparently determined were located in markets small enough to make enlarging or opening a new store unprofitable. But, by operating under a different brand name to differentiate them from Food Lion, prices and selection could be different from a standard Food Lion store and can still be profitably run without remodeling. Some exceptions to this standard were the Langley location, which was located in a former Food Lion, and the Hampton, South Carolina location which was in a former BI-LO. Reid's advertised mainly via newspaper ads with occas ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
