The Tennis Shoe Company has concluded that additional equity financing will be needed to expand operations and that the needed funds will be best obtained through a rights offering. It has correctly determined that as a result of the rights offering, the share price will fall from $56 to $54.30 ($56 is the rights-on price; $54.30 is the ex-rights price, also known as the when-issued price). The company is seeking $17.5 million in additional funds with a per-share subscription price equal to $41. How many shares are there currently, before the offering?
