(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of clauses (a) and (b) of this Section, at any time or from time to time until March 1, 2005, upon one or more public equity offerings of the Parent's Qualified Capital Stock, up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture (only as necessary to avoid any duplication, excluding any replacement Notes) may be redeemed at the Company's option within 90 days of such public equity offering, on not less than 30 days, but not more than 60 days, notice to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed, with cash in an amount not in excess of the Net Cash Proceeds of such public equity offering, at a redemption price equal to 109.750% of principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date; provided, however, that immediately following each such redemption not less than 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (but in no event less than $100 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes) originally issued pursuant to the Indenture on the Issue Date remain outstanding (only as necessary to avoid any duplication, excluding any replacement Notes).
(d) Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption unless the Company defaults in such payments due on the redemption date.
Final Redemption Unless previously redeemed, or purchased and cancelled, the Bonds will be redeemed at their principal amount on the Interest Payment Date falling on, or nearest to, June 26, 2017. The Bonds may not be redeemed at the option of the Issuer other than in accordance with this Condition.
In-kind redemptions The Acquiring Fund acknowledges and agrees that, if and to the extent consistent with the Acquired Fund’s registration statement, as amended from time to time, the Acquired Fund may, in its sole discretion, honor any redemption request partially or wholly in-kind in a manner consistent with Federated Hermes Funds’ Redemption-In-Kind Procedures.
Early Redemption The Original Notes are subject to early redemption by the Issuer as set forth in Article III of the Debt Agreement. If the Issuer elects to exercise its early redemption option with respect to the Original Notes, the Issuer shall give written notice by an Authorized Officer of its intention to exercise such option to the Global Agent of the principal amount of the Original Notes to be so redeemed in accordance with the Terms applicable to such Note. At the request of the Issuer, the Global Agent shall cause notice of redemption to be given to the Holders of Original Notes (and MAC Notes representing interests in the Exchangeable Notes) in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in the Debt Agreement in the name of and at the expense of Issuer.
Payment Upon Redemption (a) If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities of the series to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and interest on such Securities or portions of Securities shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company shall default in the payment of such redemption price and accrued interest with respect to any such Security or portion thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Securities on or after the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, said Securities shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable redemption price for such series, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (but if the date fixed for redemption is an interest payment date, the interest installment payable on such date shall be payable to the registered holder at the close of business on the applicable record date pursuant to Section 2.03).
(b) Upon presentation of any Security of such series that is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and the office or agency where the Security is presented shall deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security of the same series of authorized denominations in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.
Special Redemption Principal payments on the Secured Notes shall be made in part in accordance with the Priority of Payments on any Payment Date (i) during the Reinvestment Period, if the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion notifies the Trustee at least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Special Redemption Date that it has been unable, for a period of at least twenty (20) consecutive Business Days, to identify additional Collateral Obligations that are deemed appropriate by the Collateral Manager in its sole discretion and which would satisfy the Investment Criteria in sufficient amounts to permit the investment or reinvestment of all or a portion of the funds then in the Collection Account that are to be invested in additional Collateral Obligations or (ii) after the Effective Date, if the Collateral Manager notifies the Trustee that a redemption is required pursuant to Section 7.18 in order to (A) satisfy the Effective Date S&P Conditions or (B) obtain from S&P its written confirmation of its Initial Ratings of the Secured Notes (each of (i) and (ii), a “Special Redemption”). On the first Payment Date following the Collection Period in which such notice is given (a “Special Redemption Date”), the amount in the Collection Account representing, as applicable, either (i) Principal Proceeds which the Collateral Manager has determined cannot be reinvested in additional Collateral Obligations will be applied as described in Section 11.1(a)(ii)(E), or (ii) Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds available therefor will be applied to pay principal of the Secured Notes in accordance with the Note Payment Sequence as described in Section 11.1(a)(i)(F) and Section 11.1(a)(ii)(C) (but in the case of this clause (ii), only to the extent that the Collateral Manager does not direct that the Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds be allocated to the purchase of additional Collateral Obligations) until the Issuer obtains written confirmation from S&P of the Initial Ratings of the Secured Notes or the Effective Date S&P Conditions have been satisfied (the applicable amount payable under clause (i) or (ii), the “Special Redemption Amount”) will be applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Notice of a Special Redemption shall be given by the Trustee not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable Special Redemption Date (x) by email transmission, if available, and otherwise by facsimile, if available, or (y) by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities affected thereby at such Holder’s facsimile number, email address or mailing address in the Register (and, in the case of Global Notes, delivered by electronic transmission to DTC) or the Share Register, as applicable, and to the Rating Agency.
Mandatory Redemption The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
Special Mandatory Redemption (a) If the Company does not consummate the Merger on or prior to June 17, 2020 (the “Outside Date”), or if, prior to the Outside Date, the Company notifies the Trustee in writing that the Merger Agreement is terminated or that in the Company’s reasonable judgment the Merger will not be consummated on or prior to the Outside Date (each, a “Special Mandatory Redemption Event”), the Company shall redeem the Notes in whole but not in part at a special mandatory redemption price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined below) (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date), in accordance with the applicable provisions set forth herein and in Article 10 of the Base Indenture.
(b) Upon the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 10 Business Days following such Special Mandatory Redemption Event) notify (such notice to include the Officers’ Certificate required by Section 10.2 of the Base Indenture) the Trustee in writing of such event, and the Trustee shall, no later than 5 Business Days following receipt of such notice from the Company, notify the Holders of Notes (such date of notification to the Holders, the “Special Mandatory Redemption Notice Date”) that all of the Notes outstanding will be redeemed on the 3rd Business Day following the Special Mandatory Redemption Notice Date (such date, the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”) automatically and without any further action by the Holders of Notes, in each case in accordance with the applicable provisions set forth herein and in Article 10 of the Base Indenture, the form of such notice to the Holders of the Notes to be included in such notice to the Trustee. At or prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for the Notes. If such deposit is made as provided above, the Notes will cease to bear interest on and after the Special Mandatory Redemption Date.
Special Event Redemption Prior to March 30, 2010, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Special Event, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Securities, in whole but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to one hundred seven and one half percent (107.5%) of the principal amount thereof, together, in the case of any such redemption, with accrued interest, including any Additional Interest, through but excluding the date fixed as the Redemption Date (the “Special Redemption Price”).
Special Optional Redemption (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Corporation will have the option upon written notice mailed by the Corporation, postage pre-paid, no fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date and addressed to the holders of record of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their respective addresses as they appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation, to redeem shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control occurred, for cash at $25,000 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (“Special Optional Redemption Right”). No failure to give such notice or any defect thereto or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given. If, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, the Corporation has provided or provides notice of redemption with respect to all of the Series A Preferred Stock (whether pursuant to the Redemption Right or the Special Optional Redemption Right), the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will not have the conversion right described below in Section 9. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Series A Preferred Stock or any depositary shares representing interests in the Series A Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry form through DTC or any other similar facility, notice of redemption may be given to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock at such time and in any manner permitted by such facility.
(b) In addition to any information required by law or by the applicable rules of any exchange upon which the Series A Preferred Stock may be listed or admitted to trading, such notice shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the redemption price; (iii) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (iv) the place or places where the certificates, if any, representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; (v) procedures for surrendering noncertificated shares of Series A Preferred Stock for payment of the redemption price; (vi) that dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the redemption date; (vii) that payment of the redemption price and any accrued and unpaid dividends will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Series A Preferred Stock; (viii) that the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are being redeemed pursuant to the Special Optional Redemption Right in connection with the occurrence of a Change of Control and a brief description of the transaction or transactions constituting such Change of Control; and (ix) that holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to which the notice relates will not be able to tender such shares of Series A Preferred Stock for conversion in connection with the Change of Control and each share of Series A Preferred Stock tendered for conversion that is selected, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, for redemption will be redeemed on the related redemption date instead of converted on the Change of Control Conversion Date. If fewer than all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by any holder are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder shall also specify the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder to be redeemed. If fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be redeemed pursuant to the Special Optional Redemption Right, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata (as nearly as practicable without creating fractional shares) or by lot.
(c) If the Corporation has given a notice of redemption pursuant to the Special Optional Redemption Right and has set aside sufficient funds for the redemption in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption, then from and after the redemption date, those shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be treated as no longer being outstanding, no further dividends will accrue and all other rights of the holders of those shares of Series A Preferred Stock will terminate. The holders of those shares of Series A Preferred Stock will retain their right to receive the redemption price for their shares and any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date, without interest. So long as full cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock for all past Dividend Periods shall have been or contemporaneously are (i) declared and paid in cash, or (ii) declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash is set apart for payment, nothing herein shall prevent or restrict the Corporation’s right or ability to purchase, from time to time, either at a public or a private sale, all or any part of the Series A Preferred Stock at such price or prices as the Corporation may determine, subject to the provisions of applicable law, including the repurchase of shares of Series A Preferred Stock in open-market transactions duly authorized by the Board.
(d) The holders of Series A Preferred Stock at the close of business on a Dividend Record Date will be entitled to receive the dividend payable with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Special Optional Redemption Right between such Dividend Record Date and the corresponding Dividend Payment Date or the Corporation’s default in the payment of the dividend due. Except as provided herein, the Corporation shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on Series A Preferred Stock for which a notice of redemption pursuant to the Special Optional Redemption Right has been given.
(e) All shares of the Series A Preferred Stock redeemed or repurchased pursuant to this Section 7, or otherwise acquired in any other manner by the Corporation, shall be retired and shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series or class and may thereafter be reissued as shares of any series of preferred stock.
