On December 1, 2020, Progressive Corp. issued $5,000,000 (par
value), 12%, 5-year
convertible bonds for $5,026,000 plus accrued interest. The bonds
were dated April 1, 2020
with interest payable April 1 and October 1. If the bonds had NOT
been convertible, they
would have sold for $5,006,000. The bond premium/discount is
amortized each interest
period on a straight-line basis. Progressive does NOT value the
equity component at zero.
Progressive’s fiscal year end is September 30.
On October 1, 2021, half of these bonds were converted into 35,000
no par common shares.
Accrued interest was paid in cash at the time of conversion.
