Our company will plan to finance our strategy principally through issuing stock and cash flows from operating activities generated from the company’s normal business functions. It is undesirable for our strategy to issue debt because we would like to stay away from interest payments. Our company anticipates our debt to equity leverage ratio to be around 0.5.

However, additional analysis should be done to differentiate value distribution of $328.9m in the case of levering up $1,000m between cash-out

Convertible debt and debt with stock warrants differ in that: (1) if the market price of the stock increases sufficiently, the issuer can force conversion of convertible debt into common stock by calling the issue for redemption, but the issuer cannot force exercise of the warrants; (2) convertible debt may be essentially debt, whereas debt with stock warrants is debt with the additional right to acquire equity; and (3) the conversion option and the convertible debt are inseparable and, in the absence of separate transferability, do not have separate values established in the market; whereas debt with detachable stock warrants can be separated into debt and the right to purchase stock, each having separate values in the market.

o Cost of debt in this case is 12.5% though MCI can raise $ 100 million more with this option in comparison to option (a) above. Servicing this debt would be a significant drain on the cash flow. o Please see Exhibit 3. (c) $600 million Convertible offering @ 7.625% 20 year with conversion at 54 per share o Using this option MCI can raise $ 100 million more than option (b) at 4.88% lower rate of interest. It also gives MCI an option to convert it to equity once the stock price reaches 54 (it is currently 47). Based on previous convertible offerings (As per exhibit 6 of case, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981 and 1982), MCI has been converting it to equity within 18 months because of its high growth. As higher growth is projected for the next few years (Exhibit 9 of case), MCI is expected to convert this $600 million offering to equity, thereby reducing its leverage. o This option allows to finance its current activities and match capital inflows with expected investment outlays in the near future. It also allows MCI the option to eliminate the cash flow drain from servicing the debt once the stock price increases. o As per Exhibit 3 attached here, this offering will provide capital to meet the external financing needs for 1983.

The issuance of convertible debt will result in even more cash holdings for Intel, an additional $1 billion. This, at face value, does not solve Intel’s capital structure dilemma of having too much cash. However, Intel can afford to incur more debt financing, since it has relatively low long-term debt. By doing so, its long term debt ratio (using 1991 figure) would change to:

Three interrogations were thus to answer. Should the company provide investors with classic bonds or give them the opportunity to convert them into equity? Should they structure the offer with a fixed or a floating coupon rate? And last but not least, where should they locate the operation?

Aside from the two aforementioned proposals the company can raise its leverage in other ways. By conducting DuPont analysis and understanding operating leverage we see that purchasing fixed assets and decreasing stockholder’s equity will raise the equity multiplier and the firm’s operating leverage. In this instance we recommend against this approach as the firm already has a large amount of excess cash above what they require to fund new positive NPV projects and purchase new assets. Investors would rather see their capital returned to them in the form of share repurchases and dividends as it is evident by the company’s cash stockpile that they can

The $7 million is in the form of subordinated debentures that matures in 7 years with an interest rate of 13%. This rate is very high because subordinated debentures investors bear significantly more risk, which is a major drawback of this form of investment since the debt might not be repaid.

Because of the fact that BHC is a new venture ; the risk is actually high. Mortgage rate appears to compensate for the risk.When BHC had acquired $2,275,000 with a mortgage.

In 2006, Merrill Lynch became the lead book runner for a $5 billion convertible bond issue for MoGen, Inc. This was the single, largest convertible bond issuance in history and required a considerable amount of effort on the part of Merrill Lynch’s Equity Derivatives Group to convince MoGen’s management to choose Merrill Lynch over its competitors. The case is focused on Merrill Lynch’s choice of the conversion premium and coupon rate to propose to MoGen management. This pricing decision requires students understand the concept of valuing a convertible as the sum of a straight bond plus the conversion option. Valuing the conversion option as a call option requires the

Shareholders are extremely happy with this rate of return. It is phenomenal; therefore, I feel it would be a good company to invest in personally. Net Profit

Essentially, MCI relied heavily on convertible debt. As their stock price rose, the debt was converted to equity. Jeremy Stein (1992) states that a "good firm will use convertibles because the firm's true value will be made known before the debt is due". Following Stein's observations, Jen, Choi, and Lee (1997) conclude that "convertible bond financing is an attractive alternative for companies that have large growth potential but find both conventional debt and equity financing very costly". MCI clearly had a vision for substantial growth. The MCI management saw an opportunity for financing that would result in issuing equity and leave the possibility open to acquiring more debt in the future, if needed.
