Convertible security

A convertible security is a security that can be converted into another security. Convertible securities may be convertible bonds or preferred stocks that pay regular interest and can be converted into shares of common stock (sometimes conditioned on the stock price appreciating to a predetermined level). Other convertible securities include asset-linked bonds, asset-linked notes, and bonds with asset warrants. Although a bond with an asset warrant is a type of convertible security, regular warrants are not. A regular warrant provides an equity option, where the holder may opt to buy newly issued shares at a determined exercise price and date. Equity capital notes are similar to warrants, except that there is no exercise price.

Types

gollark: Have you tried not doing that? Unrelatedly, I should work on my CSS.
gollark: Of course, as a user of the superior SQLite3™, I do not have to deal with "permissions".
gollark: In certain database servers, yes.
gollark: It is a security risk. The more stuff exposed to the net you have, especially stuff like databases which aren't really meant for it, the more possible exploits.
