Exchangeable bond
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In finance, an exchangeable bond (or XB) is a straight bond with an imbedded option to exchange the bond for the stock of a company other than the issuer (usually a subsidiary or company in which the issuer owns a stake) at some future date and under prescribed conditions. An exchangeable bond is different from a convertible bond. A convertible bond gives the holder the option to convert bond into shares of the issuer.
