Well, for accounting purposes, these are securities with embedded derivatives. But the "embedded rights" terminology seems to be used mainly in the context of parent vs. noncontrolling interests and so-called "mezzanine" equity, and the rights can be put rights or call rights; only that latter could be relevant here. Also, these *are* equity-linked financial instruments. "Equity-linked" is not restricted to insurance or to indexed instruments -- it's just far too general here. The whole point is that these things are potentially dilutive: they can result in new shares.

Is "securities with embedded equity rights" a possible rendering?
Incidentally, "equity-linked" is way off the mark, since it refers to investment schemes linked to the performance of an equity index. Examples are "equity-linked life assurance" (or "life insurance" outside the insurance profession).

No, the shares are already equity, so the phrase qualifies only the valeurs that could become equity claims.

I have made the correction for you, in order to make the question more meaningful to potential answerers.
