Convertible Bonds 
Purpose
The scenario for managing convertible bonds allows you to process bonds which can be converted into the stocks of the issuer within a certain period.
Prerequisites
To use the scenario for managing convertible bonds, you must have:
- Created the class master data for the convertible bond and the stock.
- Carried out period-end closing for the convertible bond before converting it.
Process Flow
You can buy or sell convertible bonds within transaction processing (for details, see the
bonds scenario).
You can use the Exercise Security Rights function to convert the bond within the given conversion period.
- When you exercise your conversion right, you are asked to determine the portion you want to convert. The system then determines the number of stocks to be received and any surcharge which is due.
- In the conversion process, the bond position decreases and the stock position increases in line with the conversion ratio. The book values of the positions are updated on the basis of the book rates at the time of conversion and, if appropriate, the surcharge. The planned flows of the cash flows are adjusted to match the changed positions.
The same functions available for managing standard bonds are also available to help you manage your convertible
bond positions.
Similarly, when you come to manage the stock positions subscribed to through the conversion, the functions provided for managing
stocks are available.
Result
You have exercised the conversion option attached to a convertible bond and now have the stocks in your position.
