If the bondholder pays $1 billion for this issue he gets two things: a 4% coupon bond and the right to convert at $18.07 per share, that is, pay $18.07 to buy one share of CPN.

Your wording has me confused. Are you saying that when a holder of one of these convertible notes converts his note into common stock he/she has to pay $18.07 per share for their common stock he/she receives? Up to now I had been under the impression there was a straight swap of a convertible note for X number of shares of Calpine stock when the price of Calpine exceeded $18.07 per share. Which is it?
