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.
Why would you go for the common over the .DB right now? Maybe if this is in a non-registered account and you want to avoid the interest income ... even still I don't like it.
Risk adusted return homies.
