The bonds paid interest every December 31 at 4%; the market interest rate for bonds with a comparable level of risk was 3.80%. The bonds were convertible to common shares at a rate of 8 common shares per bond. Indigo amortized bond premiums and discounts using the effective interest method, and the company's year-end was December 31.
