Case conventions: amounts in EUR unless otherwise stated; the terms are those of the contracts; case convention (pedagogical assumption, not attributed to IAS 32): the dollar warrants are offered to a single investor and not to all the shareholders pro rata; the contingent clause of the security is genuine; the two exchange rates are scenarios; for the entry, the euro warrants are issued without a premium and all are exercised.

Classification of an issued instrument: financial liability, equity instrument or compound instrument: Securities with a contingent clause

Context

Calvire SA (fictitious entity), whose functional currency is the euro, entered into several contracts on its own shares in 20X6. You prepare the classification note for these contracts at the closing date of 31 December 20X6.

Assignment

Classification of the contracts on own shares of Calvire

Purpose of the workpaper

Record the contractual terms of the instrument, the settlement clauses, the contingent events, the currency of the exercise price and, where relevant, the redemption rights of the holder. The classification rests on these terms, not on the intention of the parties or the name of the instrument; amounts and terms are case data and the classification remains a supported judgment.
