lol, no.
Isn't this approximately correct?
The coupon is only 7%, so any substantial premium to par in the debs is coming from the convertibility. I can't see why they wouldn't track the common, either up or down, provided the common is at-or-above $5.
If the common is at $10 then the debs should be around $200 per $100 face -- of course a bit higher because of the coupon, depending on time to maturity. If the common drops back to $5 then the debs should retreat to a bit north of $100. So the haircut in the debs would be around 50% as claimed.
I was referring to downside protection that is offered UNDER the conversion price. If the market shits and the common drops from $5.50 to $4.00, I would not expect the debs to drop in tandem.
It's a rough approximation, I supposed it's not terrible. Although there is some stickiness around par.
But yeah all of the protection is below $5.00. The protection is massive. Here's my calc based on today's closing price. Hope the pic embeds.
