Haven't studied this zero coupon issue but generally they are sold at a discount to face value. The discount represents the amount of interest the market demands for a bond issued at the discount price. Thus, I would be surprised if they got the full $1000 for the bond.

In a convertible the conversion feature also generally has a value. You hope that your stock goes up enough to get the bonds converted
