CONVERTIBLE BONDS EXPLAINED - TESLA CONVERTIBLE BOND EXAMPLE

A convertible bond is a debt instrument issued by a company in order to get financing. The company will pay a periodic interest rate on the borrowed amount and, like any other bond, the bond has a maturity date. But, unlike other bonds, the holder of the bond can choose between getting his money back or, converting his bonds for a pre-set number of shares in the company or common stocks. The decision depends on the value of the shares in that moment. If the market value of the shares is higher than the bond principal, it is better to convert. If the market value of the shares is lower, it is better to require the debt to be repaid.
