I agree with Mr. Rahul Sharma's opinion .In  addition,  Please note that, if the company is earning more profits ordinary shareholders only would be able to get the advantage. Where as preference shareholders will get the priority in dividend based on the fixed percentage.

So that ,Convertible  preference shareholders are better than non-convertible.
