On March 18, ISDA submitted a response to the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) exposure draft (ED) on File Reference No. 2023-ED600, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments.

ISDA appreciates the FASB’s consideration of this topic, including the reporting guidelines and clarifications. ISDA supports the FASB’s proposals in the ED and believes it achieves the objective of improving the application and relevance of the induced conversion guidance to cash convertible debt instruments.
