Overhanging Bond

    0.01 sec.
Overhanging Bond
A concertible bond issue that investors do not convert into common stock because the stock has not appreciated in value.

Overhanging Bond
A convertible bond whose bondholders do not exercise the convertible option to turn it into common stock because it is currently trading at too low a price. Overhanging bonds therefore act like normal debt securities. This is considered a low risk investment with the possibility of high return, because an overhanging bond usually has a fixed return, and there is a small chance that the stock will recover, allowing the investor to exercise the convertible option. See also: Busted convertible.
