| danlan | What is the par value specified in bond indenture? |
| mtcfa | It must be 100. |
| steved333 | It doesn't matter. The indenture says par. Par is par. |
| krisscfa | In the event of a merger between Canton Corp and a suitor company owners of this issue will receive.... Canton Corp and a suitor company will pay the bond holders the PAR Value...and the bond holders are not the owners of the company...makes sense?? |
| krisscfa | oops owners of this issue...correct |
| MattNYC | The call is also specified in the bond indenture. The question is really very simple, and the 103 call is not even relevant. I HATE these!! |
| alejandroc | Canton does have the option to call at 103%. But it's better for Canton to repay at par value! |
I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
