CALL FEATURE
|
||||
The company will most likely call the PER CS if the common is above the call price
|
||||
for even a short period of time. The prospectus for the PERCS will describe any
|
||||
requirements regarding the call. A typical one might be that the common must close
|
||||
above the call price for five consecutive trading days. If it does, then the company
|
||||
may call the PERCS, although it does not have to. The decision to call or not is strict
|
||||
ly the company's. The PERCS holder has no choice in the matter of when or if his
|
||||
shares are called. This is the same situation in which the writer of a covered call finds
|
||||
himself: He cannot control when the exercise will occur, although there are often
|
||||
clues, including the disappearance of time value premium in the written listed call
|
||||
option. The PERCS holder is more in the dark, because he cannot actually see the
|
||||
separate price of the imbedded call within the PERCS. Still, as will be shown later,
|
||||
he may be able to use several clues to determine whether a call is imminent.
|
||||
Most PERCS may be called for either cash or common stock. This does not
|
||||
change the profitability from the strategist's standpoint. He either receives cash in
|
||||
the amount of the call price, or the same dollar amount of common stock. The only
|
||||
difference between the two is that, in order to completely close his position, he would
|
||||
have to sell out any common stock received via the call feature. If he had received
|
||||
cash instead, he wouldn't have to bother with this final stock transaction.
|
||||
In the case of most PERCS, the call feature is more complicated than that pre
|
||||
sented in the preceding example. Recall that the company that issued the PERCS
|
||||
can call it at any time during the three years, as long as the common is above the call
|
||||
price. The holder of the XYZ PERCS in the example would not be pleased to find
|
||||
that the PER CS was called before he had received any of the higher dividends that
|
||||
the PERCS pays. Therefore, in order to give a PERCS holder essentially the same
|
||||
return no matter when the PERCS is called, there is a "sliding scale" of call prices. -
|
||||
At issuance, the call price will be the highest. Then it will drop to a slightly
|
||||
lower level after some of the dividends have been paid (perhaps after the first year).
