• CONVERTIBLE DEBT SPREAD
  
  The difference between the coupon interest rate on the convertible and the coupon interest rate on the issuing company’s nonconvertible bonds. The amount by which the convertible’s interest is lower depends on a number of factors, including the structure of the convertible itself. The debt spread typically ranges from two to five percentage points.
