RE: to clarify

RE: to clarify"First Uranium has the option, subject to regulatory approval, to satisfy its obligations to repay the principal amount of the Debentures upon redemption or at maturity, provided no event of default has occurred and is continuing at such time, upon not less than 40 days and not more than 60 days prior notice, by issuing and delivering that number of freely tradable common shares obtained by dividing the principal amount of the Debentures by 95% of the weighted average trading price of the common shares on the TSX for the 20 consecutive trading days ending five trading days before the date fixed for redemption or maturity, as the case may be"

What you have pasted in your previous post is the option for FIU only. Debenture holder cannot force the company to exercise this option. From the above statement I understanding that it is just an option & not an obligation. They would only exercise it they see any benefit or advantage for the company. .e.g There can be a case when company is loaded with cash & company wants to redeem it debt without having further dilution & the stock is trading close to the strike price. In this case it does not benefit FIU to exercise that option. I did not have the time to go through the annual balance sheet to find the details of the debenture. What is the page number for Description of share capital- Convertible dentures. If I have the page number I can check the details.

In most cases micro & small caps company like FIU issue what are called mandatory convertible debenture. They have a fix strike price & maturity.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convertible_bond

Mandatory convertibles
are short duration securities—generally with yields higher than found on the underlying common shares — that are mandatorily convertible upon maturity into a fixed number of common shares. If it is intended to provide a minimum value for the convertible at maturity, convertibility may be into a sufficient number of shares based on the stock price at maturity to provide that minimum redemption value.
