Abstract
Partial conversion of contingent capital (CC) provides its owners with a portfolio of equity and debt. Since the cash-flow rights on equity (debt) typically induce a preference for risk taking (safety), the net preference of CC-holders upon conversion will depend on their relative holdings of each asset, which in turn, depends on the amount of CC converted. Conversions also provide CC-holders with equity-control rights, which afford them greater influence over management. Taking into account these cash-flow/control rights, initial shareholders may find it optimal to: (1) select high-risk assets that create influential and risk-loving CC-holders, or (2) select low-risk assets that forestall the influence of safety-loving CC-holders.
或有资本(CC)的部分转换为其所有者提供了股权和债务的组合。由于股权(债务)的现金流权通常会诱发对风险承担(安全性)的偏好,因此,或有资本(CC)持有人在转换时的净偏好将取决于他们对每种资产的相对持有量,而这又取决于转换后的或有资本(CC)数额。转换还为 CC 持有人提供了股权控制权,使他们对管理层有更大的影响力。考虑到这些现金流/控制权,初始股东可能会发现最优的选择是(1)选择高风险资产,从而产生有影响力的、热爱风险的 CC 持有人;或(2)选择低风险资产,从而防止热爱安全的 CC 持有人施加影响。
