A debt/equity swap is a refinancing deal in which a debt holder gets an equity position in exchange for the cancellation of the debt. The swap is generally done to help a struggling company continue to operate. The logic behind this is an insolvent company cannot pay its debts or improve its equity standing.
With convertible debt, a business borrows money from a lender or investor where both parties enter the agreement with the intent (from the outset) to repay all (or part) of the loan by converting it into a certain number of its preferred or common shares at some point in the future.
There are a number of risks and rewards associated with debt conversion. One of the biggest risks is that the company may not be able to make the required interest payments on the new equity. If this happens, the company may be forced to issue more equity or take on additional debt in order to make the payments.
A debt for equity swap involves a creditor converting debt owed to it by a company into equity in that company. The effect of the swap is the issue of the equity to the creditor in satisfaction of the debt, such that the debt is discharged, released or extinguished.
Such conversion increases solvency and liquidity position of a company and improves the potential to raise further funding should it be required.
