Abstract

ABSTRACTIn recent years, mandatory convertibles (MCs) have become a popular means of raising capital, especially for large projects. This paper is the first theoretical paper to investigate MCs using the incomplete-contract approach. We show that MCs can be an efficient instrument in sequential financing. MCs have some distinct features compared to other convertibles, such as mandatory conversion, a high dividend rate, and capped capital appreciation. We show in theory that these features are designed to achieve efficiency.
