The only way a company can be sure these days of selling its prior lien securities is to dress 77 millimeter guns!/them up in fancy stock purchase 1 with appallingly | warrants or conversion privileges. This has given directors a ques- 10w tion of importance to decide many shares of common stock be offered to buyers of conv issues? As a rule this conversion rate has been based approximately on the current market value of the company's common shares. Recent- ly this had led to the taking of definite steps to “steady” or strengthen the market for the com- pany’s common stock before float- ing the convertible issue. One company recently floated a small amount of common stock, ac- companied with much publicity about plans and prospects. The company’s common shares rose in price. A convertible bond issue then was floated, the rate of con- version being based on the higher common prices.
