Convertible Debt Issuance

Definition

Convertible Debt Issuance refers to a type of bond or loan that can be converted into a predetermined number of shares of the issuing company’s equity. This financial instrument offers investors the potential for capital appreciation if the company’s stock price rises, alongside the security of debt payments. Companies often use convertible debt to raise capital at lower interest rates than traditional debt, particularly when equity valuation is uncertain. It provides flexibility for both the issuer and the investor.
