The preferred securities of the affiliate, originally issued in a public offering, may be exchanged, at the option of the holder of such securities, into a specified amount of this debt. This form of debt can then be converted for a specified amount of the Company's common stock, at the option of the debt holder, and places a lender in a lien position behind debt having a higher priority of repayment in liquidation of the entity's assets. + References No definition available. + Details
