IN THE 4
QUARTER OF 2012, WE RAISED $115 MILLION THROUGH
THE ISSUANCE OF A CONVERTIBLE BOND
2
Encore
issued
a
convertible
bond
to
Qualified
Institutional
Buyers,
raising
$115
million
(1)
at
an
annual coupon of 3.0%, with a conversion premium of 25.0% above the stock price at issue
($31.5625)
(2)
Simultaneously with the issuance of the convertible bond:
Encore purchased a bond hedge in the over-the-counter equity derivatives market
(effectively repurchasing the call-option embedded in the convertible bond)
Encore
sold
warrants
at
75.0%
above
the
stock
price
at
issue
($44.1875)
(2)
The purchased call options are considered integrated with the convertible bond from a
tax perspective and, as a result, the cost of the options is deductible for tax purposes
The sold warrants expire 3 months after the bond hedge
Concurrent
with
the
transaction,
Encore
repurchased
shares
worth
$25
million
pursuant
to
a
share repurchase program

Comprised of a $100 million offering on November 27, 2012 and a $15 million overallotment option exercised on December 6, 2012
2.
The stock price at issue was $25.25

TH


THE COMBINATION OF THE CONVERTIBLE BOND WITH A BOND HEDGE PLUS
WARRANTS EFFECTIVELY INCREASED THE CONVERSION PREMIUM TO 75%
3
Encore issued a convertible bond with a conversion price of $31.5625 (25% above stock price at issue)
With net share settlement, if the stock price is above the conversion price at maturity, Encore would
deliver the original issue amount in cash and the incremental value above the conversion price in shares
Encore purchased a bond hedge in the over-the-counter derivatives market (i.e., Encore purchased back the
call option embedded in the convertible bond)
If the stock price is above the conversion price at maturity, Encore would receive the incremental value
above the conversion price in shares from the bond hedge counterparties
Encore
sold
a
warrant
with
a
strike
price
of
$44.1875
(75%
above
stock
price
at
issue)
in
the
over-the-counter
derivatives market
If the stock price is above the warrant strike price at maturity, Encore would deliver the incremental value
above the warrant strike price in shares to the warrant counterparties
In
effect,
it
is
as
if
Encore
had
issued
a
convertible
bond
with
a
conversion
price
of
$44.1875
(the
warrant
strike price)
If the stock price is above the warrant strike price at maturity, Encore will deliver the original issue amount
in
cash
and
the
incremental
value
above
the
warrant
strike
price
in
shares

Tax Considerations
Bond Hedge Plus Warrants Accounting
Net Share Settled Convertible Accounting
Description
Balance Sheet
Income Statement
Net Share Settlement
Accounting Method
Encore pays par in cash
and delivers shares for the
in-the-money amount of
the conversion option
Balance sheet: Debt
plus option
Interest expense:
Straight debt cost
EPS dilution: Treasury
stock method
The debt component is the estimated
fair value, as of the issuance date, of a
similar bond without the conversion
feature
The remainder is additional paid-
in capital
The debt component is subsequently
accreted to par over its expected life,
with interest expense that reflects the
convertible coupon plus amortization
of the bond discount
Illustration: Convertible coupon is
3.0%, straight cost of debt is 6.0%,
maturity is 5 years, and issue size is
$115 million
The debt component is initially
recorded at $100.3 million
(present value of cash flows
discounted at the straight cost of
debt), with the remaining $14.7
million recorded as a component
of equity
The end of year 1 value of the
debt component is $100.3 million
+ $2.6 million amortization of
bond discount
=
$102.9
million
(1)
Interest expense is calculated as
follows:
Year 1 interest expense is $6.1
million, cash interest = $3.5
million and amortization of bond
discount is
$2.6
million
(1)
The Treasury stock method is used to
determine shares added to total
shares outstanding
This is only applicable when the
stock trades above the conversion
price of $31.5625
The purchased call options (bond hedge) reduce equity and the sold warrants increase equity; equity is reduced by the net amount
The purchased call options and sold warrants are identified as equity pursuant to EITF 00-19
The bond hedge and warrants premium are not expensed and they are not marked to market
The purchased call options are ignored for EPS purposes
The sold warrants are accounted for pursuant to the Treasury Stock Method
The Convertible Bond is treated as debt issued at a discount (convertible face value minus cost of bond hedge)
The discount is amortized as interest expense over the life of the bond
This results in deductions being taken at Encore’s straight cost of debt (on the accreted balance sheet liability)
The proceeds from the sold warrants are tax-free
