Series 65: Conversion Ratios

Taken from our Series 65 Online Guide

Conversion Ratios

The number of shares of stock that a bondholder will receive upon converting the bond is called the conversion ratio and is specified in the indenture. Conversion ratios are set to reflect some price above the price of the company’s stock at the time of the bond’s issuance. Let’s assume the conversion price was set at $20. The formula to calculate a conversion ratio is as follows:

Thus, the conversion ratio would be $1,000 / $20 = 50, meaning the investor would receive 50 shares for converting one bond.

If the stock was selling at $24 per share and the bondholder decided to convert, the bondholder would receive 50 shares of stock that would be worth $24 x 50 = $1,

TESTIMONIALS

I loved using Solomon Exam Prep. I used Solomon for 1 month and passed my Series 65 exam. I had previously used Kaplan and failed the same exam. I feel as if Solomon provided significantly better Exam prep and technology in a more concise manner than any other system I have used. Thank you for such a great service.

I PASSED. A big thank you to Solomon Exam Prep for breaking down the material for the Series 65 exam into understandable information. I started my exam prep journey with another provider and their material was simply too wordy and full of unnecessary information. I switched to Solomon Exam Prep and the material was easy to follow and I PASSED. Thanks so much for being there for me.

Solomon Exam Prep material was great. Explained in a way that is easy to learn and follow. Test questions really help the material sink in. I had failed the Series 66 twice using another service. When it came time to find new material for the Series 65 and Series 63 Solomon was it. I passed both the 65 & 63 with flying colors and I have Solomon to thank for that.

Jeff Champigny, Merrill Lynch, Greensboro, NC

Very good material and well planned to help you pass the first time (Series 65). The audio tape structure is easy to listen to along with the reading material. Clear and to the point. Nothing dry about your material. Thank you. Highly recommend.

My name is Michael Urbanski, CPA and I was able to pass the Series 65 exam on my first attempt. For me, I like to study from all the credible resources I can find. Using exam simulators and exposing yourself to as many sample exam questions helps to learn how an exam is written. I would recommend using these materials to help YOU pass the exams you chose to sit for.

I'm an auditory learner. Ordering the audio files was most helpful and I passed today with no worries.
