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 = $1,200

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.

Thanks again for all your help. Loved the study materials and the book was very well written and easy to read. [Series 65]

I passed my Series 65 today with an 80, first effort! Not only was the material well laid out, but if it's possible, the Solomon prep made the material palatable and understandable. Amazing!!! I have used Kaplan in the past as well as STC, which are both very good, but I chose Solomon because it had audio downloads. With an hour commute, I was able to study during that otherwise wasted time. Additionally, the "Ask the Professor" and live chat features were excellent!! Questions were answered virtually immediately by personal email and the author/owner Jeremy Solomon actually called me to help me and cheer me on! I didn't think this kind of customer service and general human kindness existed anymore. He even asked me to let him know personally my results which, thanks to this program, I am on the other side of this very difficult exam. Thank you Solomon Exam Prep!!!!!

I passed the 63 and 65 the practice questions are much more difficult than the actual exam. I would recommend this program to anyone who needs to be challenged and wants to pass the first time out.

I used Solomon to prep for my Series 65 exam. I was extremely impressed with how prepared I was for the actual exam! After reviewing the chapter material and taking 7-10 quizzes for each chapter, I was scoring around a 75 average on the practice exams, I wasn't sure that would be enough to pass. However, on exam day I felt extremely confident with the material, and I passed the 65 on my first attempt with about 45 minutes to spare. Extremely satisfied with how Solomon teaches the material to truly make it stick, and also with the progress statistics that they show you, so you know what to work on. I would 100% recommend it to anyone trying to pass their Series exams!
