Answer:

Convertible bonds

Step-by-step explanation:

One advantege of convertible bonds for the issuer is that bondholders are willing to accept a loxer interest rate because they have an option of converting their bonds to common stock.

If a company wants to issue bonds at an interest rate that is lower than the current market interest rate, they should offer convertible bonds.
