Hong Kong-listed shares of the telecommunications giant gained 1% in Monday morning trade.
The bonds were converted at 12.51 yuan per share, lifting China Mobile's stake in SPD Bank to around 18.15% from 17.80%.

The converted shares will be subject to a five-year lock-up period under Chinese banking equity regulations.
