b.Exchange the bond for a fixed number of common shares of the issuer
c.Receive a variable coupon tied to a stock index
d.Vote in the issuer's shareholder meetings

A convertible bond can be exchanged, at the holder's option, for a predetermined number of the issuer's common shares based on the conversion ratio.
