Note 8: Bonds (in part)

The 11.0% bonds were issued in 2011 at 96.0 to yield 10%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 50 shares of the Companys no par common stock.

The 11.8% bonds were issued in 2015 at 105 to yield 10%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Each $1,000 bond was issued with 50 detachable stock warrants, each of which entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Companys no par common stock for $25, beginning 2025.

On January 3, 2025, when Bradley-Links common stock had a market price of $32 per share, Bradley-Link called the convertible bonds to force conversion. Ninety percent were converted; the remainder were acquired at the call price. When the common stock price reached an all-time high of $37 in December of 2025, 40% of the warrants were exercised.
