• The first type is dilutive to investors, as the company’s Board of
Directors agrees to increase the share float level. This type of follow-on
public offering seeks to raise money to pay debt or expand the
business. This increases the number of shares outstanding.
• The other type of follow-on public offer is non-dilutive. This approach is

commonly referred to as a secondary market offering. There is no
benefit to this method for the company or current shareholders.
