HUNG CONVERTIBLES
Convertible securities that are very unlikely to be converted into common stock of the underlying issuer, usually because the share price is well below the conversion price. Hung convertibles can also result if the issuer is unable to force conversion until the underlying common stock reaches a pre-defined price level, or because the call date is still far away. Because of their limited prospects for conversion, hung convertibles trade as debt instruments rather than quasi-equity.
