| Abstract: | European managers are surveyed to gain some insights into motivations of convertible issuance. The analysis shows that a majority of companies issue convertibles as "delayed equity" and as "debt sweetener". Managers also use convertibles to avoid short-term equity dilution and to signal company's future growth opportunities. A large cross-sectional variation is documented across companies in rationales for issuing convertibles and mixed support is found for most theoretical models. |
