Each $1,000 bond was issued with 40 detachable stock warrants, each of which entitled the bondholder to purchase, for $50, one share of Limbaugh Communications no par common stock. Interstate Containers purchased 20% of the bond issue. On August 1, 2021, the market value of the common stock was $48 per share and the market value of each warrant was $10.
