Question 3 (a) Analyze the attractiveness of this issuance to HSU. The issuing market has a bullish view. Each bond is valued at US$10,000 denomination with 500 detachable warrants. Each warrant allows the investor to purchase one HSU share at an exercise price of US$40. The warrant is currently quoted at US$10,000. Calculate the warrant premium if the HSU share price is US$52. (5 Marks) (b) If the investor wants to assess the callable fixed coupon bond, what is the Call Adjusted Yield to Maturity (YTM) if a 3-year government bond yields 3% and HSU has a 4% credit spread? (2 Marks) (c) HSU is assessing a 10-year 8% annual coupon callable bond. The YTM of a comparable non-callable bond is 7%. Explain how the call option will work. (2 Marks) (d) Warrant Premium and Conversion Premium: If HSU also issued a 6-year Convertible Bond (CB) at the same time with an extremely high conversion premium greater than 20%, would you recommend the investors to buy the warrants described in (a) or the CB? Explain your recommendation. (5 Marks) (e) Given that HSU has just issued US$200 million of these warrants, and if the market yield level would fall significantly, the callable bond's price would rise. Compare a standard fixed coupon bond with a callable bond. Hint: Bond with Warrants vs. Convertible Bond. (8 Marks)
