What does this convertible bond calculator compare?
A convertible bond gives its holder a contractual right to exchange debt for shares under specified conditions.
The same face principal can produce different share counts when the conversion price changes, while fractional settlement can change the resulting value.
This calculator applies original, current and candidate conversion prices to the same remaining principal and compares shares, fractions and the difference from cash redemption.
It is designed for investors and family members reviewing Korean KRW bonds using disclosed terms under the 2026 source context.
A larger share count does not establish that conversion is preferable.
Check the applicable conversion price, exercise window, redemption amount and when delivered shares can actually be sold.
Three questions the results address
- How many new shares would the same remaining principal produce at each conversion price?
- Does the candidate fit the floor, ceiling and adjustment direction you entered?
- How does net conversion value compare with net cash redemption at one valuation date?
Prepare the bond terms and account records
Face balance and prior conversions
Total principal means face principal used for conversion, not your purchase cost.
Previously converted principal and previously received shares are separate records.
Past conversions may have used different prices, so multiplying prior shares by the current price is not a reliable way to reconstruct the principal already used.
Prices and exercise conditions
Read the latest adjustment and amended filings as well as the original issuance notice.
Match the bond series, issue date, adjustment date, conversion period, fractional settlement, redemption rate and call/put terms.
Ask your broker about its operational cutoff, which may precede the contractual deadline.
This tool assumes a single aggregate conversion of the remaining principal at one price.
If the contract rounds down separately for each certificate, account or request, combining the amounts can produce a different share count.
Calculate separately using the actual settlement unit and reconcile the results with the broker.
A filing alone does not establish that your account can exercise the right today.
Input meanings and units
- Total and converted principal: Both use whole KRW, and their difference is the balance being compared.
If total principal already represents your current balance, enter zero for previously converted principal to avoid subtracting it twice. - Conversion and market prices: The conversion price determines how much face principal becomes one share.
The assumed market price values that share on the comparison date.
A market-price change does not automatically become an identical conversion-price change. - Contractual floor and ceiling: Enter absolute prices verified in the applicable filing.
A blank means unknown, not a zero-price limit.
Capital adjustments can make a verified ceiling differ from the original conversion price. - Currently issued shares: Include shares already issued through earlier conversions.
This optional input supports a partial dilution reference; leave it blank when unverified.
Principal, prices and share counts use integers; the redemption rate accepts up to four decimal places.
Draft input preserves editing and comma-separated numbers.
The calculator rejects invalid dates, converted principal above total principal, a ceiling below the floor, unsupported precision and values whose resulting valuation exceeds the supported numerical range.
Share-count and fractional-share formulas
Reconcile every part of the principal
Remaining principal B = total principal − previously converted principal
Whole conversion shares N = floor(B / conversion price K)
Residual face principal R = B − N × K
Fractional share = R / K
Only whole shares are counted as newly issued shares.
Integer division and remainder calculations avoid losing one share through floating-point error at an exact boundary.
The remaining principal is accounted for by the face amount converted into whole shares plus the residual face amount.
Previously received shares are a memo and are not added to this new share count.
Three fractional settlement settings
If the contract pays residual face principal, fractional cash is R.
If you have confirmed that no fractional cash is paid, it is zero.
When settlement is unknown and a fraction exists, net conversion value and comparisons are withheld while whole shares and residual principal remain visible.
If R is exactly zero, there is no fractional amount to settle, so the arithmetic comparison can proceed even with an unknown fractional policy.
Why the refixing floor is not automatically set to 70%
Article 5-23 of Korea’s Regulations on Securities Issuance and Disclosure addresses downward adjustments for listed issuers, including adjustment grounds, dates and methods.
For market-price declines, the rules include a 70% reference to the issuance price adjusted for relevant capital events, a calculated market-price basis and an exception established through a specific special shareholder resolution for the issuance.
Multiplying the original input price by one percentage cannot establish a universally permitted price.
Upward resets and capital events matter too
Items 1 and 3 of Article 5-23 address upward resets after downward adjustments for the relevant private placements.
Item 4 addresses dilution from capital increases and stock dividends, while Article 5-23-2 addresses upward adjustments following events such as capital reductions and share consolidations.
The calculator checks only the direction and price limits entered by the user; it does not adjudicate these legal conditions.
A candidate below the floor or above the ceiling is not silently replaced with another price.
The hypothetical arithmetic stays visible with a conflict notice.
Even a candidate within entered limits still requires confirmation of the adjustment date, market-price calculation, shareholder resolution, transitional provisions and contractual applicability.
The original-price row is a reference calculation, not a claim that historical terms remain exercisable.
Compare conversion and cash redemption on one date
Net conversion value = N × assumed share price + fractional cash + conversion interest − conversion costs
Net cash redemption = B × redemption rate / 100 + separate redemption interest − redemption costs
Difference = net conversion value − net cash redemption
Parity share price = (net cash redemption − fractional cash − conversion interest + conversion costs) / N
A 105% redemption rate includes 100% of principal and the premium.
Do not add interest already included in that rate again as separate interest.
Enter conversion interest only when it would actually be paid under that alternative.
Past acquisition costs and previously received coupons are common historical items excluded from this choice comparison, so the result is not lifetime investment profit or a total return percentage.
A current stock valuation and a maturity payment years later are not amounts at the same date.
Uncheck the same-date confirmation if the values cannot be aligned; differences and parity prices will be withheld.
The tool does not invent a discount rate or reinvestment return.
If redemption is unavailable on the chosen date, its figure remains hypothetical rather than immediately receivable cash.
Negative net values are preserved when costs are large, and a zero share count has no parity price.
Worked example: KRW 10 million of principal
Assume no previous conversion, no costs or separate interest, and a share price of KRW 6,000 on the common valuation date.
A total redemption rate of 105% gives KRW 10,500,000 in net cash redemption.
These fictional figures verify the arithmetic and are not an offer or recommendation for any actual bond.
| Scenario | Price (KRW) | Shares | Net value (KRW) | Difference (KRW) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Original / current | 5,000 | 2,000 | 12,000,000 | 1,500,000 |
| Candidate | 4,000 | 2,500 | 15,000,000 | 4,500,000 |
The candidate produces 500 additional shares.
Parity share prices are KRW 5,250 at the current conversion price and KRW 4,200 at the candidate price.
At 80%, 100% and 120% of the assumed market price, candidate conversion values are KRW 12,000,000, KRW 15,000,000 and KRW 18,000,000.
These are independent sensitivity assumptions, not probabilities or forecasts of future returns.
Fractional and fully converted boundaries
KRW 10,000,001 divided by KRW 4,000 produces 2,500 shares and KRW 1 of residual face principal.
KRW 3,000 at the same price produces zero shares with all principal in the residual amount.
When all principal has already been converted, remaining principal and comparison cash flows are zero; entered costs and interest are not applied again.
Step-by-step workflow
- Confirm the bond series and face balance, and reconcile total and previously converted principal.
- Copy original and current conversion prices from the filings and enter a candidate price.
- Set only the floor, ceiling, direction and fractional settlement terms you have verified.
- Choose a common valuation date and share-price assumption, then enter the corresponding redemption rate, separate interest and costs.
- Record conversion and redemption availability and read conflicts and unknown-data notices first.
- Save or print the results and ask the broker about final pricing, request processing and share delivery.
Changing inputs hides the previous results.
Calculate again before saving a revised report.
Contacting a broker or successfully submitting an exercise request is something you must confirm separately; this calculator does not submit a request or record an automatic completion.
Partial dilution and practical uses
After an adjustment announcement
Compare the share-count difference between current and candidate prices.
If the terms require upward resets after downward adjustments, do not assume a lower price will remain indefinitely.
Keep the candidate hypothetical until the applicable price is confirmed.
Before asking about redemption or conversion
Align the assumed share valuation with redemption available on that same date.
Reduce the relevant principal if a call option has removed part of the holding or a conversion request has already consumed principal.
When cash is needed by a deadline, also check trading and settlement after share delivery.
Partial dilution is new conversion shares / (currently issued shares + new conversion shares).
With 1,000,000 currently issued shares and 2,500 candidate shares, it is approximately 0.249377%.
This excludes other holders, other CB series, bonds with warrants and stock options, so it is neither company-wide dilution nor an expected percentage decline in the share price.
Do not add earlier converted shares again when they are already included in the current issued-share count.
Frequently asked questions
Does a higher share count always mean a gain?
No.
Value depends on the share price, costs, fractional settlement, redemption amount and actual exercise terms.
More shares can still have less value if their market price falls.
Does the tool retrieve the minimum refixing price?
No.
Enter terms from the amended filing for the specific issuance.
Passing an entered floor does not establish compliance with every legal or contractual requirement.
Is fractional principal always paid in cash?
No.
Verify residual face-principal payment or no payment from the terms.
For another settlement method or separate rounding per certificate, use the broker’s settlement calculation.
Should prior conversion shares be added to the result?
The table counts only new shares from the remaining principal.
Prior shares are a memo, and previously issued shares should already be included in the current issued-share count.
Should I enter both the redemption rate and maturity interest?
Not when the rate already includes that interest.
Separate redemption interest is only the contractual amount excluded from the entered rate.
Can I compare a later maturity payment directly?
Uncheck the same-date confirmation if the dates cannot be aligned.
Differences and parity prices are withheld; no automatic discounting or reinvestment assumption is applied.
Why is the parity price negative or absent?
A negative parity price means the conversion scenario has greater value across nonnegative share prices because of the entered costs and separate cash amounts.
Zero shares, unknown fractional settlement or unmatched dates cause the price to be withheld.
Will the conversion valuation be deposited as cash?
No.
Share valuation is not a cash deposit.
Confirm sale availability, execution price, sale costs, tax and the issuer’s ability to redeem separately.
