This is usually done as a precaution for distressed companies to dilute shares which might have had a negative impact on the company. A company's shareholders is basically the people that owns it, so it anything that may occur and decreases the investor's rate of ownership, them it will also affect and decrease the value of the investor's holdings. Dilutions can occur in numerous ways and the announcements of companies actions that dilute shares are called in during an Investor call. If this were to happen then the amount of the company shares will increase and these new shares are called "Dilutive Stock". https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRDGakkjKoaVympAAufuzPBV4RV5JAPaBNHW5UvyKR6qr/cyxkEVqiiLy2ofdgrJNxeZC3WCHPBwR7MjUDzY4kBNr81LetETmuDWKvqCPmaSADqzr7cvw5uMJgEuBeuvuxazYG8zoQXWgA6qkN5Yo32DcRzka1VLsrb2BJSkBrF9yjpHU.png **Secondary Offerings** Let's say a company has a Total of 500 shares of float on the market, and it's management firm issues more shares of 500 in a secondary offering, there are now 1,000 shares outstanding. The owners of the first 500 shares would face a 50% dilution factor. This eventually means that an onwer of 50 shares now owns 5% of the company rather than 10%. Dilution doesn't mean that a dollar amount of the assumed investment changes, However since the shares been held is a far lesser percentage of the entire company, the investor has small pull in the company's decisions and talks, this could make their stake have a decreased percentage of the company's entire earnings. https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRDGakkjKoaVympAAufuzPBV4RV5JAPaBNHW5UvyKR6qr/cyxkEVqiiLy2ofdgrJNxeZC3WCHPBwR7MjUDzY4kBNr81LetETmuDWKvqCPmaSADqzr7cvw5uMJgEuBeuvuxazYG8zoQXWgA6qkN5Yo32DcRzka1VLsrb2BJSkBrF9yjpHU.png **Overlook Of Stock Dilution** - Dilution occurs when a management action like secondary offering takes place and increases the number of shares. - Stock Options are Dilutive to shareholders when an increase of shares occurs. - Stick dilution can decrease every shareholder's stake in the company but it's only mandatory when a company requires capital for running. - Equity and debts are convertible and Dilutive when theses securities/assets are converted to shares. https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRDGakkjKoaVympAAufuzPBV4RV5JAPaBNHW5UvyKR6qr/cyxkEVqiiLy2ofdgrJNxeZC3WCHPBwR7MjUDzY4kBNr81LetETmuDWKvqCPmaSADqzr7cvw5uMJgEuBeuvuxazYG8zoQXWgA6qkN5Yo32DcRzka1VLsrb2BJSkBrF9yjpHU.png **Conclusion** That concludes everything about my article on stock dilution in trading.
