| Tiivistelmä: | This article examines the behavior of equityholders when corporate debt includes a covenant specifying a pre-determined payment to debtholders when the debt is downgraded. This covenant is referred to as a “rating trigger”. The shareholders of companies with a low-risk profile and operational flexibility choose debt with a trigger, while the owners of a company with a high-risk profile and little flexibility choose regular debt. |
