A reverse stock split is a corporate action that involves a company reducing the number of outstanding shares it has, while the stock price increases proportionately. For instance, if there is a 1:5 reverse split, five shares are combined into one. A reverse stock split does not change the value of a company. However, it is often used to meet the requirements of listing on an exchange or improve the perception in the market.

Bought Out Deal
A bought-out deal is a stock offering where an investment bank buys the entire issue of shares from a company. In turn, the investment bank will attempt to sell the shares to other investors. A deal of this kind has two benefits:
- The company need not worry about subscription as the investment bank will purchase the entire offering
-
The investment bank can negotiate with the company and get the shares at a discount
That said, there are risks to a bought out deal like:
- It is up to the investment bank to sell the shares to investors in order to recoup the principal or make a profit
- The investment bank also runs the risk of receiving no interest in the shares from other investors
- Guarantee purchase
If the issue size of the bought-out deal is large enough, the investment bank may team up with others to fulfil the purchase.
