Convertible Note
A precise tool.
What is the Convertible Note & How does it work?
A convertible note is a debt security that can be converted into equity in the issuing company under certain conditions.
The conversion ratio, denoted as (CR), determines how many shares of stock an investor receives for each dollar invested. It is calculated using the formula:
CR = frac{text{Conversion Price}}{text{Face Value}}
CR = Conversion Ratio, Conv. Price = Conversion Price per share, Face Val. = Face Value of the note
The conversion price is typically set at a discount to the current stock price to incentivize early investment and reduce risk for the issuer.
