CARROT AND STICK BOND

CARROT AND STICK BOND :

Another variation of the above instrument is the carrot and stick bond. The carrot is the lower than normal conversion premium i.e. the premium over the present market price of the equity shares is fixed at a reasonable level so that the price of the equity shares need not increase significantly to make conversion practical. The stick is the issuer’s right to call the issue at a specified premium if the price of the equity shares is traded above a specified percentage of the conversion price.
