    A formal debt instrument issued by a corporation or government entity and is anywhere from 10 years to thirty years long. A convertible bond is a bond or share of preferred stock that gives its holder the right to exchange it for a stated number of shares of common stock. Investors like convertible bonds because it allows them to gain from an increase in the price of common stock, while limiting their risk if the price of the stock falls. The firm can also benefit from issuing convertible bonds because the popularity of this feature with investors allows it to offer a lower coupon rate on convertible bonds, thus reducing its fixed payments. The important group that can be harmed by convertible bonds is the corporation’s existing stockholders.…

    Equity Warrant Bonds

    • 475 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Equity warrant bonds are bonds issued with equity warrants attached. Warrants are similar to share options, and give their holder the right but not the obligation to subscribe for a fixed quantity of equity stocks in the company at a future date, and at a fixed subscription price (exercise price). When bonds are issued with warrants, the warrants are detachable and can be sold in the stock market separately from the bonds. Investors might therefore subscribe to an issue of equity warrant bonds, hold the bonds to maturity (as a long-term investment) and sell the warrants in the stock market fairly soon after purchase. Equity warrant bonds are unsecured, and offer a lower coupon rate of interest than similar straight bonds issued at the same time and for the same maturity. In these respects, they are similar to convertible bonds. A feature of equity warrant bonds is that if the warrants are exercised, the money obtained from issuing the new stocks can be used to help redeem the bonds. The debt capital therefore will be replaced, in part at least, by new equity.…

    Bonds

    • 3574 Words
    • 15 Pages

    A bond is basically a loan. The owner of a bond has given the issuer-whether it is a corporation, a government or another agency-a sum of money that can be used at any point. In exchange, the issuer will pay interest to the bondholder over a period of time and will eventually return the initial amount loaned, called the principal. Unlike a stock, the bondholder does not own a part of the company. Because a bond is basically a loan, they are often called "debt securities" because they represent a debt obligation from the issuer to the bondholder. Bonds are also known as fixed income securities. The reason for this name is that at the time of the purchase of a basic bond, the amount of income and the timing of the payments are known to the purchaser. Bonds are called debentures and debt instruments as well.…
