Term:
Forced conversion
Definition:
Occurs when a Convertible security is called in by the issuer, usually when the underlying Stock is selling well above the Conversion price. The Issuer thus assures the Bonds will be retired Without requiring any Cash payment. Upon conversion into common, the Carrying value of the bonds becomes part of a corporation`s equity, thus strengthening the Balance sheet and enhancing future Debt capability.
