Can someone explain to me how does this LB work?

SSTEEL-LB is a loan stock, with fixed interest repayments of 5% (5 sen/yr, paid at half-yearly intervals), from 2015-2020. As far as I can figure, it is a 1:1 conversion to mother share (The RM1.05 exercise price refers to the initial price to buy the loan stock in 2015). Conversion can be done at any time, via your remisier/brokerage.

The reason for the low volume is because -LB stockholders were getting 5 sen annual returns (better than FD) while mother share had no dividend since 2014.

Given that the mother share just declared a 3 sen dividend ... you can expect some interest in this counter, as a cheaper entry to own the mother share.
Note that at RM1.40, loan stock interest works out to only 3.57% p.a.
