The objective of this study is to implement Analysis of Moment Structure (AMOS) at the same time analysing the power of corporate governance on Post – Seasoned Equity Offerings (SEO’s) performance as well as in determining whether agency costs exist as a mediating variable between them. We conjecture that the mediating function of agency costs reduction is fundamental to the causal relationship between corporate governance and Post-SEO underperformance. Failure to tackle agency costs as a mediating variable may perhaps be one reason for the inconclusive findings in the allied literature. This study intends to focus on an SEO sample, for the reason that it is essential to evaluate how better corporate governance mechanisms can enhance SEO performance by estimating the relationship between different variables. To achieve this, the study will apply the approach and analyse SEOs in Nigeria from 2005-2015.

We conjecture that the mediating function of agency costs reduction is fundamental to the causal relationship between corporate governance and Post-SEO underperformance. Failure to tackle agency costs as a mediating variable may perhaps be one reason for the inconclusive findings in the allied literature. This study intends to focus on an SEO sample, for the reason that it is essential to evaluate how better corporate governance mechanisms can enhance SEO performance by estimating the relationship between different variables.
