AMC bond 以債代息?

IB收到Corporate Action (TenderIssue), 見下文

再上網search, 應該係問你要不要用你的舊債(2025)換新債(2026)

現在隻bond AMC Corp 5.75 Jun15'25得返$33

 
睇返個Corporate Action:
 
"$501.25 principal amount of New Notes"   >>  即係新債價是$50.125, 比現價多了
 
"due 2026"  >>  但新債要遲一年到期, 好似係May 1, 2026 (ref: businesswire.com)

"12% Cash/PIK"   >>  12%是派息多了嗎?

但PIK又是什麼呢?

原來PIK(Payment-In-Kind)指以債代息 (ref: investopedia)

即係如果公司沒錢付息給你, 可給你一些bond unit代替
 
"20.00 P.A Early Tender Premium"  >>  估計是 若提早call走 會送2% (ref: westfinancial, 另外, 文中有句"issuers are likely doing this for their benefit, not for the benefit of bondholders" 我很同意)
 
總結:   公司用新債舊債和以債代息都係想buy time遲些付息, 有機會渡過難關
            我會博佢唔執, 繼續持有收息
            而且不想遲一年到期, 會take no action

博大升/跌的期權組合

上文講過的期權組合: 1張SP + 2張LP

今次再做

Combo (credit 0.01):
 BABA May29'20 210 Put -1 @5.69 
 BABA May29'20 202.5 Put 2 @2.84


這個組合要跌穿195 (202.5 - spread between SP&LP) 先開始賺

spread = 210 - 202.5 = 7.5 (即3%)

即係個組合只可以博大升/跌 (起碼3%升/跌)


May29到期那晚 BABA正股198.x  我估當晚仲會跌, 唔平倉

預計正股收低過198時個組合會剩低1LP被行使 (1SP和1LP抵銷左)

我本身冇貨, 若LP行使會short sell

因唔想short sell, 所以最後set左Market-on-Close (MOC) Order買貨

最後BABA竟然倒升, 收207.39, MOC買了貨@208, SP210又接貨(因冇LP抵銷)

賬面蝕 = 210 - 207.39 = 2.61 

接貨可以博BABA升返

最後有200股BABA 平均價209
 


總結: 這個期權組合只適合睇大升或大跌 (起碼3%升/跌, 而個%就係SP和LP之間的spread)
