Record number: 1, 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 1, English, - convertible%20preferred%20share
Record number: 1, 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. However, "stock" is usually a collective noun, with "actions" as its French equivalent and "shares" as its synonym. 6, record 1, English, - convertible%20preferred%20share
