3 convertible preferred stock
Finstocks that give the holder the right to exchange them at a fixed price for another security, usually common stock.EXAMPLEPreferred stocks and other convertible securities offer investors a hedge: fixed-interest income without sacrificing the chance to participate in a company’s capital appreciation.When a company does well, investors can convert their holdings into common stock that is more valuable. When a company is less successful, they can still receive interest and principal payments, and also recover their investment and preserve their capital if a more favorable investment appears.Conversion ratios and prices are key facts to know about preferred stocks. This information is found on the indenture statement that accompanies all issues. Occasionally the indenture will state that the conversion ratio will change over time. For example, the conversion price might be $50 for the first five years, $55 for the next five years, and so forth. Stock splits can affect conversion considerations.In theory, convertible preference shares (and convertible exchangeable preference shares) are usually perpetual in time. However, issuers tend to force conversion or induce voluntary conversion for convertible preference shares within ten years. Steadily increasing ordinary share dividends is one inducement tactic used. As a result, the conversion feature for preference shares often resembles that of debt securities. Call protection for the investor is usually about three years, and a 30- to 60-day call notice is typical.About 50% of convertible equity issues also have a “soft call provision.” If the ordinary share price reaches a specified ratio, the issuer is permitted to force conversion before the end of the normal protection period.The ultimate business dictionary > convertible preferred stock
