Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
An investor who buys convertible preferred shares and subsequently converts the preferred shares to common shares does not incur a capital gain or loss at the time of conversion. Instead, the cost of convertible shares becomes the equivalent cost of the newly acquired common shares. A capital gain or loss will be incurred only when the newly acquired common shares are sold or otherwise disposed of. 5, record 2, English, - convertible%20preferred%20share
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The correct French equivalent is "action" in this context because "stock" and "share" are used interchangeably as a singular noun.
