On July 1, 2019, when its $1 par value common stock was selling for $66 per share, Marin Corp. issued $25,600,000 of 6% convertible debentures due in 10 years. The conversion option allowed the holder of each $1,000 bond to convert the bond into 10 shares of the corporation's common stock. The debentures were issued for $27,136,000. The corporation believes the difference between the par value and the amount paid is attributable to the conversion feature. On January 1, 2020, the corporation's common stock was split 2 for 1, and the conversion rate for the bonds was adjusted accordingly. On January 1, 2021, when the corporation's $0.50 par value common stock was selling for $38 per share, holders of 10,240 of the convertible debentures exercised their conversion options.
