Senior Convertible notes are a debt security that can be converted into equity at a later date. They’re “senior” to common stock in the sense that holders have priority in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation.
MicroStrategy also expects to grant to the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase up to an additional $90 million aggregate principal amount of the notes.
