All answers were helpful. I took the first entry on warrant bond since the second poster should have agreed and/or added information there instead of creating a whole new entry with the same term. (Thanks for all the extra information, though.)

agree  Roddy Stegemann: Yes, it sounds like a warrant bond. Warrants are options attached to bonds that permit the owner to convert to stock at a predetermined price. They were very popular in Japan during the 1980s, and contributed significantly to Japan's Bubble economy.

disagree  gangels (X): Hamo, you talk about "convertible bonds"

  -> convertible bonds (Wandelanleihe) are quite different to warrant bonds, with convertibles the creditor can exchange the bond for shares, with a warrant bond the owner receives a "detachable" warrant that takes on a separte life to the bond itself

callable bond


Explanation:
i.e. a "bond with a call feature". It means a bond redeemable in 2010 can be "called" early, with a certain premium attached to compensate the investor. At maturity, in 2010 it always pays "par" ($100) but when called early (say 2008), it may pay $105, depending how much earlier it is called.

warrant bond


Explanation:
warrant issue

Optionsanleihe
Festverzinsliches Wertpapier, welches das Recht zum Erwerb von Aktien in einem von der Anleihe abtrennbaren Optionsschein verbrieft. Der Optionsschein kann selbständig gehandelt werden. Die Aktien lassen sich gegen Hergabe des Optionsscheins zu im voraus festgelegten Konditionen beziehen. Die Optionsanleihe selbst wird dabei nicht umgetauscht, sondern bleibt bis zu ihrer Rückzahlung bestehen. Für die Optionsanleihe kann es daher bis zu drei verschiedene Börsennotierungen geben: einen Kurs für die Anleihe mit Optionsschein ("cum"), für die Anleihe ohne Optionsschein ("ex") und für den Optionsschein allein.

Optionsschein
Auch "Warrant" genannt, verbrieft das Recht, nicht aber die Verpflichtung, eine bestimmte Menge eines Basiswertes (z.B. Aktien, Anleihen u.a.) zu kaufen (Call option) oder zu verkaufen (Put option).

Warrant bonds Bonds with a warrant attached. The warrant entitles the holder to buy a specific number of shares of the company in question during the exercise period at a price fixed in advance. Once the warrant is exercised, the bond continues to run until its maturity date.

disagree  gangels (X): In the US markets, this is true for securities only, not debt instruments. Bonds are NOT optionable. You may confuse warrant with zero coupon.
