Hello jurek,
I cut and paste from the 2008 Financials (I recall the same note for 2009...but don't have a pdf file of the 2009 handy), showing the note regarding Convertible Debt. If the debt holder converts to common shares, the established rate is set at $5/share, if the company redeems the debt (2nd paragraph), company pays for 100% of prinicipal amount (not fair value) and the conversion amount of $16M+(20% - which represents the cost to CLL of converting this bond to common shares - this has already been accounted for in the company's equity section). What remains is the 100% principal amount to be converted to common shares.
It's a tricky note that overlaps "fair value" (showing what the bonds were worth as at the FS date of 2008) and "100% of the prinicipal amount" used for conversion purposes. This is IMO my interpretation.
Good luck

Convertible Debentures
On May 25, 2007 Connacher issued senior unsecured subordinated Convertible Debentures with a face value of $100,050,000. The Convertible
Debentures mature June 30, 2012 unless converted prior to that date and bear interest at an annual rate of 4.75 percent payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The Convertible Debentures are convertible at any time into common shares at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $5.00 per share.
The Convertible Debentures are redeemable or after June 30, 2010 by the company, in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the Convertible Debentures to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest provided that the market price of the company’s common shares is at least 120 percent of the conversion price of the Convertible Debentures.
The conversion feature of the Convertible Debentures has been accounted for as a separate component of equity in the amount of $16,823,000. The remainder of the net proceeds of the Convertible Debentures of $79,187,000 was recorded as long-term debt, which will be accreted up to the face value of $100,050,000 over the five-year term of the Convertible Debentures. Accretion and interest paid are recorded as finance charges on the consolidated statement of operations. If the Convertible Debentures are converted to common shares, the value of the conversion feature will be reclassified to share capital along with the principal amounts converted.
At December 31, 2008, the fair value of the Convertible Debentures was $45 million (December 31, 2007 – $96.5 million). This amount was determined by reference to the quoted market price for the Convertible Debenture.
