Convertible bond conversion ratio
How many shares correspond to one bond at the contractual conversion price?
When to use it and why it works
A holder exchanges bond face value for shares at the conversion price. Divide the face amount of one bond by the amount needed per share to obtain shares per bond.
Conversion ratio = face value / conversion price
Work through an example
A bond has face value 100 and converts at 20 per share. How many shares correspond to it?
Read this example’s explanation
100 ÷ 20 = 5 shares per bond.
Your calculated answer
- Conversion ratio (shares per bond)
- 5
Follow each step
Divide face value per bond by the conversion price per share.
100 / 20 = 5
Intermediate calculations retain precision; displayed values are rounded. Follow the precision requested by your question.
What the result means
The ratio tells you the shares corresponding to face value. Profitability also depends on the share price, bond purchase cost, and issue terms.
Mistakes to watch for
- Do not substitute the bond’s trading price for face value or the stock’s market price for its conversion price.
- This lesson retains theoretical fractional shares. Actual whole-share rounding, cash settlement, and conversion-price adjustments follow the issue terms.
