examples of Equity Instruments? - Odyssee - 08-26-2009
According to IAS 32
A financial instrument is an equity instrument only if (a) the instrument includes no contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity and (b) if the instrument will or may be settled in the issuer's own equity instruments, it is either
a non-derivative that includes no contractual obligation for the issuer to deliver a variable number of its own equity instruments; or
a derivative that will be settled only by the issuer exchanging a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of its own equity instruments. [IAS 32.16]
Can anyone please provide examples of derivatives that will be settled only by the issuer exchanging a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of its own equity instruments?
