 Convertible debt - definition of Convertible debt in Encyclopedia
A simple method for calculating the value of a convertible involves calculating the present value of future interest and principal payments at the cost of debt and adds the present value of the warrant.
However, in exchange for the benefit of the reduced interest payment, the value of shareholder's equity is reduced due to the expected dilution should the convertible bondholders convert their bonds into new shares.
From a valuation perspective, a convertible bond consists of two assets: a bond and a warrant.

 Convertible-debt deals reach an all-time high - 2003-06-16
A record number of local companies are selling convertible debt, seizing on low interest rates and rising stock prices to raise capital on better terms than available via conventional stock or bond offerings.
For corporate chieftains who need cash, the appeal is twofold: By offering an "equity kicker" they can borrow at lower rates, and if their company's stock goes up the debt will be converted to stock and stop weighing down the balance sheet.
The hybrid securities, which pay interest like a bond but can be converted to shares of stock at a predetermined price, are enjoying a popularity surge across the country.

On the other hand, convertible debt, which gives debt holders a unilateral right to convert, can change a firm's debt level even after the manager's investment decision.
We consider a situation in which a corporate manager's investment decision is affected by the firm's debt level.
Although both an equity–for–debt swap and convertible debt can induce the self–interested manager to undertake only value–increasing projects through capital structure adjustments, there exists a significant difference between these two financial instruments.

 THE BENEFITS OF CONVERTIBLE DEBT ANATOMY OF A FINANCING Section: HANDS ON: FINANCE Magazine: Inc., February, 1995
Unlike equity, convertible debentures "would pay an attractive rate of return from the beginning, and they offered our investors the chance to convert to equity, with its upside potential, at a date later in the company's development," says Troy.
After five years the company would return the principal to all investors who had not, within a specified period, chosen to convert the debt to common stock.
KnowledgePoint's description of conversion rights was two paragraphs long, including a detailed requirement that investors notify the company of conversion plans in writing, not earlier than November 1, 1988, and not later than six months before final payment of the debentures was due.

 CIBER Modifies Contingent Convertible Debt Conversion
In CIBER's case, the debt is not convertible until its stock reaches $16.36/share for a period of time, and then it is not mandatory.
The issue arose in December 2004 when FASB issued an EITF memo (04-8) stating that retro-actively, companies that issued contingent convertible debt offerings would need to change the way EPS was computed by adding back related interest expense and dividing by the eventual number of shares the debt would be converted into.
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., July 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CIBER, Inc., today announced its Board of Directors agreed to exercise CIBER's rights pursuant to the terms of its December 2003 Contingent Convertible Debt issue to irrevocably say that upon conversion, all conversions would be settled entirely in cash.

 Convertible debt as delayed debt
- Issuing equity by first issuing convertibles and later forcing conversion leads to a larger negative abnormal return (-4.15%) than issuing equity outright (-3.14%).
2.The call feature that allows convertibles to be an advantageous method for some firms to get equity into their capital structure (Stein, 1992).
Forcing conversion is a bad signal since it indicates a desire to insure against deterioration in the stock price and the risk of ending up with unconverted convertibles.
