Expect that all convert improving debt to equity ratio, increasing number of shares by about 1.2 million. The yield of 5.75 on these debentures can be easily exceeded by stock price. After many years of being undervalued goeasy is finally getting a more "in line" valuation.
CEO singalled targets getting raised when issue Q2 which will be around mid July. I think buyers coming in now ahead of the raised guidance that is coming.
14. Convertible Debentures In June 2017, the Company issued $53.0 million of 5.75% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures, with interest payable semi-annually on January 31 and July 31 each year and commencing on January 31, 2018 [the “Debentures”]. The Debentures mature on July 31, 2022, and are convertible at the holder’s option into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $44.00 per share. On and after July 31, 2020, and prior to July 31, 2021, the Debentures may be redeemed in whole or in part from time to time and with proper notice by the Company, provided that the volume-weighted average trading price of the common shares on the TSX for the 20 consecutive trading days prior to the 5th trading day before redemption notification date was not less than 125% of the conversion price. On or after July 31, 2021, the Company may redeem with proper notice the convertible debentures for the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. On the date of issuance, the gross proceeds of $53.0 million were first allocated to the debt component of the Debentures by discounting the future principal and interest payments at the rate of interest prevailing at the date of issue for a similar non-convertible debt instrument. The difference between the gross proceeds and the debt component, or residual value, was then allocated to contributed surplus within shareholders’ equity. A deferred tax liability arose from the temporary difference between the carrying value of the liability and its tax basis. Transaction costs were allocated to the debt and equity components on a pro-rata basis.
