ISBN 978-960-622-913-8 Abstract: The purpose of this thesis is to scrutinize convertible bonds under corpo- rate law and delineate their use from a corporate finance standpoint. Given its dual orientation, the paper is structured in two parts. Part A stresses on the main proce- dural and substantial legal aspects of issuing convertible bonds in greek corporate law and illustrates the main features of mandatory convertible bonds and contin- gent convertible bonds (CoCos). Part B aims to explore the various suggested ration- ales supporting the choice to issue convertible bonds instead of common equity or straight debt within a corporate finance framework, an issue that also bears on the design of convertible bonds and the issuer’s call policy.
