"Add-on financing" or "follow on offering" is when a publicly traded corporation
issues & sells additional stock shares AFTER any IPO (initial public offering).
Such sale's cash proceeds are then used either to:
Shore up negative or poor cash flows
or Make capital improvements & expand the business.
The alternative is issuing corporate-bonds or obtaining other-loans
which negatively-impact the bottom-line.
