"Death spiral financing is the result of a badly structured convertible financing used to fund primarily small cap companies in the marketplace, causing the company's stock to fall dramatically, which can lead to the company's ultimate downfall."
Yes, BUT COPL's are NOT badly structured.
A conventional convertible bond can be converted to a fixed number of shares. The type of bond that is called death spiral debt, however, converts into a fixed value paid in shares.
So in death spiral bonds the bond holder is probably shorting the stock. The price goes down and they convert at that SP and end up with even more shares. Then repeat. THAT is the spiral.
