On January 1,2020, Martinez Corporation, which follows IFRS, issued a series of 500 convertible bonds, maturing in five years. The face amount of each bond was $1,000. Martinez received $527,000 for the bond issue. The bonds paid interest every December 31 at 4%; the market interest rate for bonds with a comparable level of risk was 3%. The bonds were convertible to common shares at a rate of ten common shares per bond. Martinez amortized bond premiums and discounts using the effective interest method, and the company’s year-end was December 31.

The bondholders chose to forfeit the accrued interest on these bonds. On January 1, 2022, when the fair value of the bonds was $309,700 due to a decrease in market interest rates, a conversion inducement of $19/bond was offered to the remaining bondholders to convert their bonds to common shares. All of the remaining 300 bonds were converted into common shares at this time.
