Death spiral financing is a process where convertible financing used to fund primarily small cap company small cap companies can be used against it in the marketplace to cause the company s stock to fall dramatically and can lead to the company s ultimate downfall. Many small companies rely on selling convertible debt to large private investors see Private investment in public equity to fund their operations and growth. This convertible debt, often convertible preferred stock or convertible debenture s, can be converted to the common stock of the issuing company often at steep discounts to the market value of the common stock. Under the typical death spiral scenario the holder of the convertible debt initially Short finance shorts the issuer s common stock which often causes the stock price to decline at which time the debt holder converts some of the convertible debt to common shares with which he then Cover finance covers his short position. The debt holder continues to sell short and cover with converted stock which along with selling by other shareholders alarmed by the falling price continually weakens the share price making the shares unattractive to new investors and can severely limit the company s ability to obtain new financing if the need arises. An important characteristic of this kind of convertible debt is that it often carries conditions like a quarterly or semi annual reset of the conversion price to keep the conversion price more or less close to the actual stock price. But a lower conversion price also increases the number of shares that a bond holder gets in exchange for one bond, increasing the dilution of existing shareholders. A lower price reset can also force investors that have set up a long CB short stock position to sell more stock adjust the delta , creating a vicious circle, hence the nickname death spiral.
