Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja przyczyn emisji obligacji zamiennych z wysoką początkową premią konwersji. Analiza trzystu emisji długu zamiennego przeprowadzonych w latach 2004–2014 przez spółki ze Stanów Zjednoczonych, Europy i Azji działające w sektorze produkcyjnym i usługowym wykazała, że obligacje zamienne z wysoką premią konwersji są wykorzystywane przez niedowartościowane przedsiębiorstwa znajdujące się w trudnej sytuacji finansowej, które traktują dług zamienny bardziej jako alternatywę dla emisji akcji niż dla zwykłych obligacji korporacyjnych bez wbudowanej opcji konwersji. Emisja obligacji zamiennych najprawdopodobniej ma pozwolić tym spółkom na podniesienie kapitału własnego w późniejszym czasie i na dużo lepszych warunkach w porównaniu z publiczną emisją akcji.

This paper identifies the motives for selling convertible bonds with a higher‑than‑average initial conversion premium, using a sample of 300 convertible debt issues carried out between 2004 and 2014 by manufacturing and service companies from the United States, Europe and Asia. Empirical analysis indicates that high premium convertibles are issued by strongly undervalued companies with poor financial performance, looking to increase their equity capital through the backdoor, under more favorable conditions in comparison to the issuance of common stock. For this reason, convertibles designed in this way are likely to be perceived by firms as a delayed equity rather than a debt sweetener.
