4) Faith Evans Corporation is a regional company which is an
SEC registrant. The corporation’s securities are thinly traded on
NASDAQ. Faith Evans Corp. has issued 11,770 units. Each unit
consists of a $589 par, 12% subordinated debenture and 12
shares of $6 par common stock. The investment banker has
retained 471 units as the underwriting fee. The other 11,299
units were sold to outside investors for cash at $1,036 per unit.
Prior to this sale, the 2-week ask price of common stock was
$47 per share. Twelve percent is a reasonable market yield for
the debentures, and therefore the par value of the bonds is equal
to the fair value.
