Overview
The market for issuer equity derivatives has been active, volatile, and unpredictable since COVID hit in early 2020. Over these last two and a half years, many companies issued convertible notes in unprecedented volumes, entered into related hedging transactions such as call spreads and capped calls, executed massive accelerated share repurchase programs, and engaged in other types of transactions linked to their common stock.
