convertible notes financial

"the aggregate US$100 million in convertible notes (the "2025 Notes")"

Convertible notes are a type of short-term loan that a company receives from investors, which can later be turned into company shares instead of being paid back in cash. They matter to investors because they offer a way to support a company early on while giving the potential to own a stake in its success if the company grows and later raises more funding.

conversion price financial

"All of the issued 2025 Notes have an initial conversion price of US$2.62"

The conversion price is the fixed price at which a convertible security, like a bond or preferred stock, can be exchanged for shares of common stock. It acts like a set rate that determines how many shares an investor can receive if they choose to convert their investment. This helps investors understand the value and potential benefits of converting their securities into company shares.
