Is an option available for a performing/profitable startup to simply repay the convertible debt instrument on maturity and thus not give the equity to the investor? Who has the option to convert, the investor or the owner? I’m assuming in reality the startups very infrequently have the cash to repay any debt and hence the only option is to convert to equity.
