The notes were issued at their face value and each note can be converted into one ordinary share in OZ Ltd at any time over their lives. Organisations with a similar risk profile to OZ Ltd have issued debt with similar terms but without the option to convert at the rate of 7% (Rounded to the nearest integer). Additional information The present value of an annuity of $1 per period for n = 6 periods at 7% is 4.766540. The present value of an annuity of $1 per period for n = 6 periods at 5% is 5.075692. The present value of $1 in n periods for n = 6 at 7% is 0.6663422. The present value of $1 in n periods for n = 6 at 5% is 0.7462154.
