Why firms invest using convertible bonds or preference shares?
Hi all,
Would like to ask why would PE firms invest in companies through convertible bonds or preference shares?
- Preference shares do not give you voting rights and so the investor would not be able to vote on the dividends it would be paid. This part sounds strange to me.
- Convertible bonds. Why not go for common shares directly?
Thank you!
Preferred stock can and generally is structured however the PE firm wants. My firm ($400MM fund) typically structures a participating preferred security with annual PIK (8%-10%) and voting rights. The benefit of this is that it guarantees you are paid your principal and some minimum return before any common is paid out.
