Callable Bonds Clause Samples

A callable bonds clause gives the issuer the right to redeem the bonds before their scheduled maturity date, typically at specified times and prices. In practice, this means the issuer can choose to pay back the principal to bondholders early, often if interest rates decline or if it becomes advantageous to refinance the debt. This clause primarily serves to provide issuers with financial flexibility, while also introducing reinvestment risk for investors, as their bonds may be redeemed earlier than expected.
Callable Bonds. Callable bonds provide the issuer with the option to redeem them before maturity. This allows the issuer to refinance if interest rates fall and issue new bonds at a low- er, more favorable rate. Issuers generally must pay a slightly higher rate of interest for this privilege. If a security is called prior to maturity, it may affect the yield you receive. Please consult with your Financial Advisor for additional information.

Callable Bonds. A Callable Bond offers the option to the issuer to redeem the Bond before its maturity date. Redemption may be mandatory for the issuer based on the fulfilment of some preconditions included in the initial terms of issue or at the issuer's option and all or part of the issued Bond may be redeemed before its maturity date. Investors, whose Bonds are called, are paid a specified call price. Any (positive) difference between a Bond's call price and nominal value is the call premium. Call provisions expose investors to additional risks and are therefore issued with higher yields than comparable Bonds with no such provisions.

Beneficial Owners will hold interests in the Bonds through the book- entry facilities of the Depository in minimum initial Bond Principal Balances of $25,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Indenture Trustee may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the Bonds) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Beneficial Owners with respect to the Bonds for the purposes of exercising the rights of Holders of the Bonds hereunder. Except as provided in the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 4.01, the rights of Beneficial Owners with respect to the Bonds shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Depository and Depository Participants. Except as provided in Section 4.08 hereof, Beneficial Owners shall not be entitled to definitive certificates for the Bonds as to which they are the Beneficial Owners. Requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Bonds shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Beneficial Owners. The Indenture Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Bondholders and give notice to the Depository of such record date. Without the consent of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, no Bond may be transferred by the Depository except to a successor Depository that agrees to hold such Bond for the account of the Benefic▇▇▇ Owners.

  • Optional Redemption of Notes (a) The Issuer shall have the right to redeem the Notes at its option and in its sole discretion at any time or from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, in whole or in part. Prior to the Par Call Date, the redemption price (“Redemption Price”) will equal the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date) that would be due if the Notes matured on the Par Call Date, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that if the Redemption Date falls after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, the Issuer will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such interest payment date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date (instead of the Holder surrendering its Notes for redemption). If the Notes are redeemed on or after the Par Call Date, the Redemption Price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. (b) The Issuer shall not redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01(a) hereof on any date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such an acceleration has not been rescinded or cured on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Issuer in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to the Notes to be redeemed).
