What: Shares of electronics manufacturer Fabrinet
So what: The company just announced a secondary offering of up to 6.9 million shares, which would dilute the share pool by about 20%. The stock isn't falling quite that hard because the new float is coming from "certain selling shareholders" rather than from the certificate-minting presses.
Now what: Fabrinet isn't in dire need of fresh cash, and shouldn't get any from this third-party offering. The only entity reported to own enough Fabrinet stock to come anywhere near backing this sale is former JPMorgan Chase
