springing convertible

    0.06 sec.
springing convertible
A convertible security that includes warrants to purchase additional shares of the issuer's common stock. Certain prescribed events, such as a hostile tender offer or the accumulation of a large block of stock by a single group, cause the exercise price of the warrants to drop or spring. This unusual security is issued primarily to deter a corporate takeover by making the takeover more expensive.
