Convertible profit-sharing certificates (Swedish: konvertibla vinstandelsbevis, KVB) are securities without voting rights that provide a return linked to the company's profit or dividend. They can be converted into shares at a predetermined conversion price. A KVB resembles a convertible.
Until conversion, the holder is not a shareholder. When a KVB is converted, new shares are issued, which leads to dilution for existing owners. The new shares and owners must then be entered in the share ledger.

A convertible is a loan that can be exchanged for shares in the company.
