Option 2
20 + 10/(1+k2)1.5 + 15/(1+k2)2.5 + 15/(1+k2)3= 44/(1+k2)4 + 44/(1+k2)4 Therefore, k2 = 16.32% (Approx.)
20
Substituting k in respective equations and Taking Share Price as Rs.X, 2X/(1+k1)4 + 20/(1+k1)6 + 30/(1+k1)7 + 30/(1+k1)8 + 10/(1+k1)4= 2X/(1+k2)4 + 2X/(1+k2)4 k1 = 17.7%, k2 = 16.32%
Analyst views: Trading Value of the debenture - Rs. 48 and the probable warrant value Rs. 5 each in the market Against shares worth 40 in the case of surrender Result of Analysis: No investor will turn up to surrender the TOCDs
Conversion of debenture to equity resulted in reduction of debt : equity ratio (lowering) RPL exercised the call provision and redeemed the convertible portion of O/S TOCDs. Again for reduction of Debt Equity ratio
Redemption
