1. Conversion Price A convertible bond with a par value of $1,000 has a conversion
ratio of 16.4. What is the conversion price?
8. Convertible Bonds You own a callable, convertible bond with a conversion ratio of
23.17. The stock is currently selling for $54 per share. The issuer of the bond has
announced a call at a call price of 110. What are your options here? What should
you do?
You can convert or tender the bond (i.e., surrender the bond in exchange for the call
price). If you convert, you get stock worth 23,17 x $54 = $1,251.18. Given that the
value from conversion ($1,251.18) exceeds the call price $1,100, (110 percent of par),
it is advisable to convert the bond into stock. This option gives you a higher value and
allows you to participate in any future upside of the stock price.
