CALL PUT
Time to exercise ??
Risk-free rate

with time, so the net end result is uncertain. (In principle, same should apply to the direction of
value for volatility, but it doesn’t.)

Public debt
− Issued using a prospectus
− Probably underwritten
− Can be cheaper, with fewer covenants
− Not suitable for small amounts of finance
− Face value is generally denominated in units of 100 or 1,000 of currency. But it may not
be issued at 1,000 and probably won’t trade at that amount. Trading price is shown as a
% of the face value. Interest will be based on this face value.
− Difficult to resolve if the company faces problems
Private debt
− Advanced by a bank
− May be syndicated to a group of banks
− Flexible and quick
− E.g. Term loans, overdrafts, revolvers (a revolving line of credit is a credit commitment
of up to an agreed amount for a specified time, to be drawn and repaid as needed)
