Description

This study examines the announcement effects of offering convertible debt using data from the US market from 2006 to 2015. Convertible debt has become a widely used mode of financing, especially for high-risk companies. It is important for both issuers and investors to understand how this financing option may affect the underlying equity of the issuing company, if at all. This paper includes the calculation of abnormal returns using event study methodology. The abnormal returns will be regressed against a number of potential firm and market characteristics to explore which factors affect the magnitude of the potential abnormal returns.
