Equity overhang refers to the portion of a company's equity that is not currently held by existing shareholders but could be issued if all dilutive securities (stock options, warrants, convertible bonds, etc.) are exercised or converted. This calculation helps investors understand the potential dilution impact on their existing holdings.
Suppose a company has 1,000,000 shares outstanding. It has issued 100,000 stock options, 50,000 warrants, and 20,000 convertible bonds. The equity overhang would be calculated as follows:
This means that if all dilutive securities are exercised or converted, existing shareholders' ownership could be diluted by 17%.
