#3 Convertible notes price
The Monplanet Capital Management analyst asserted that the convertible note agreements have an important role in the Coinbase stock valuation.
In detail, a convertible note is a form of an investment loan in the early stages of a company’s development. It is made to convert to ownership of stocks in the company once the loan matures.
Noteholders accepted to receive 0.50% per year and a conversion price of $370.45. This means that most convertible noteholders may believe that the fair value is close to $370.45.
the analyst stated.
On May 18, 2021, Coinbase signed a purchase agreement with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC to issue and sell the Notes.
The Notes accrue interest of 0.50% per year payable semi-annually in arrears. The conversion rate for the Notes will initially be 2.6994 shares of the Class A Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $370.45 per share of the Class A Common Stock.
