The operation method of convertible bond conversion is as follows:

The convertible bond holder logs in to the securities account within the specified ten years and chooses to entrust the sale , then enter the conversion code, and then enter the number of shares to be converted. Note, do not enter the convertible bond code, otherwise it will become a transaction. The price displayed by the system is 100 yuan, and there is no need to fill in the conversion price. The operation interfaces of different securities firms are different, and some require entrustment to buy. Regardless of the trading platform, if you enter the conversion code when converting shares, the system will default to the fact that the convertible bond holder will exercise the right to convert shares.
