19. To Conclude… It is a low cost debt as the interest rates given to FCC Bonds are normally 30-50 percent lower than the market rate because of its equity component. Greater return potential if the stock price appreciates more than the previously fixed conversion price. Conversion of bonds into stocks takes place at a premium price to market price. Conversion price is fixed when the bond is issued. So, lower dilution of the company stocks. Investors are mostly non-residents or hedge fund arbitrators. Saves the risk of immediate equity dilution as in the case of public shares Redeemable at maturity if not converted.
