These are also known as \u2018coupon payments.\u2019 However, the rate of interest on convertible bonds is lower compared to non-convertible bonds due to the added convenience of the conversion option.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ratio_of_Conversion\"><\/span><strong>Ratio of Conversion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The conversion ratio of convertible bonds determines how many shares the bondholders will receive after conversion. It is usually depicted as the number of shares per bond. Now, this ratio is fixed at the time of issue of such bonds. For example, if the ratio is 10:1, it means that a bondholder\u2019s one bond can be converted into 10 shares of the company\u2019s stock.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Date_of_Maturity\"><\/span><strong>Date of Maturity<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like any other traditional bonds, convertible bonds also have a maturity date. It is the date on which the principal amount invested by the bondholder is due to be repaid by the issuer company. Thus, if a bondholder has not converted the bonds into shares, their face value will be received on maturity.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conversion_Price\"><\/span><strong>Conversion Price<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The conversion price of a convertible bond is the price at which one can convert it into shares. It is usually set at a premium and is often higher than the bond\u2019s face value.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Call_and_Put_Options\"><\/span><strong>Call and Put Options<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several convertible bonds that feature call-and-put options, offering much-required flexibility to the bondholders and the issuers. Using a call option, an issuer company can either redeem or force convert the <a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/essentials\/bond-introduction\/what-are-bonds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bonds<\/a>, often at a premium price. Similarly, using a put option, a bondholder can sell the bonds back to the issuer company before maturity at a specific price. This provides an apt exit strategy for the bondholders, upholding their liquidity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_the_Benefits_of_Convertible_Bonds\"><\/span><strong>Understanding the Benefits of Convertible Bonds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several benefits of investing in convertible bonds, which are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Potential_Capital_Appreciation\"><\/span><strong>Potential Capital Appreciation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the issuer company\u2019s stock price increases, the value of the convertible bonds also goes up.
