    The conversion price per share is $25.25

    Explanation:

    The conversion price per share is is given as market price value divided by conversion ratio.

    In this scenario market value is $1000*101/100=$1010 while the conversion ratio 40:1

    Hence conversion price=$1010 / (40/1)

    which can be written $1010*1/40=$25.25

    As result the conversion price per share is $25.25

    It is assumed that the bondholders bought the shares at $25.25 per share against holding on their debt instrument that only guarantees payment of coupon interest and eventual redemption of initial amount invested
