Sampras Ltd issued $1 million of convertible notes on 1 July 2019. The notes have a life of 6 years and a face value of $1 each. They offer interest, payable at the end of each financial year, at a rate of 5 percent per annum. The notes were issued at their face value and each note can be converted into one ordinary share in Sampras Ltd at any time in the next 6 years. Organisations with a similar risk profile to Sampras Ltd have issued debt with similar terms but without the option to convert at the rate of 7%.

The holders of the options elect to convert the options to ordinary shares at the end of the second year of the notes.
