Equity-linked securities provide companies with a flexible financing solution that combines many of the benefits of both equity and fixed income.  Equity-linked securities can be used to meet numerous objectives ranging from raising low-cost debt financing to achieving equity credit from the ratings agencies.  Issuers have historically used these products for a wide array of corporate finance situations, including refinancing existing debt, opportunistic or acquisition-related financing, or as a means of repurchasing an issuer's shares.
