REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE The Notes are subject to optional redemption, and may be the subject of an Offer to Purchase, as further described in the Indenture. The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
Optional Redemption by the Company (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3(c), except as otherwise may be specified in this Indenture, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Debentures, in whole or in part, from time to time, on or after June 30, 2007, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such redemption. Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) shall be made upon not less than thirty (30) days' nor more than sixty (60) days' notice to the holder of the Debentures, at the Redemption Price. If the Debentures are only partially redeemed pursuant to this Section 3.3(a), the Debentures shall be redeemed pro rata or by lot or in such other manner as the Trustee shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion. The Redemption Price shall be paid prior to 12:00 noon, New York time, on the date of such redemption or at such earlier time as the Company determines provided that the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay the Redemption Price by 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the date such Redemption Price is to be paid. (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3(c), the Company shall have the right to redeem Debentures at any time and from time to time in a principal amount equal to the Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement) of any Preferred Securities purchased and beneficially owned by the Company, plus an additional principal amount of Debentures equal to the Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement) of that number of Common Securities that bears the same proportion to the total number of Common Securities then outstanding as the number of Preferred Securities to be redeemed bears to the total number of Preferred Securities then outstanding. Such Debentures shall be redeemed pursuant to this
Redemption and Termination (a) The Board of Directors of the Company may, at its option, at any time prior to such time as any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, redeem all but not less than all the then outstanding Rights at a redemption price of $.01 per Right, as such amount may be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction occurring after the date hereof (such redemption price being hereinafter referred to as the “Redemption Price”) and the Company may, at its option, pay the Redemption Price either in Common Shares (based on the “Current Market Price,” as defined in Section 11(d)(i) hereof, of the Common Table of Contents Shares as of a date determined by the Board) or cash. The redemption of the Rights by the Board of Directors of the Company may be made effective at such time, on such basis and with such conditions as the Board of Directors of the Company, in its sole discretion, may establish. (b) Immediately upon the action of the Board of Directors of the Company ordering the redemption of the Rights (such action being adopted in the manner required by paragraph (a) above), evidence of which shall have been filed with the Rights Agent and without any further action and without any notice, the Rights will terminate and the only right thereafter of the holders of Rights shall be to receive the Redemption Price for each Right so held. Promptly after the action of the Board of Directors ordering the redemption of the Rights, the Company shall give notice of such redemption to the Rights Agent and the holders of the then outstanding Rights by mailing such notice to all such holders at each holder’s last address as it appears upon the registry books of the Rights Agent or, prior to the Distribution Date, on the registry books of the transfer agent for the Common Shares. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice of redemption will state the method by which the payment of the Redemption Price will be made. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates or Associates may redeem, acquire or purchase for value any Rights at anytime in any manner other than that specifically set forth in this Section 23 or in Section 24 hereof, and other than in connection with the purchase of Common Shares before the Distribution Date.
Suits by the Corporation The Corporation shall have the right to enforce full payment of the Exercise Price of all Common Shares issued by the Warrant Agent to a Registered Warrantholder hereunder and shall be entitled to demand such payment from the Registered Warrantholder or alternatively to instruct the Warrant Agent to cancel the share certificates and amend the securities register accordingly.
Redemptions and Repurchases The Trust shall purchase such Shares as are offered by any Shareholder for redemption, upon receipt by the Trust or a Person designated by the Trust that the Trust redeem such Shares or in accordance with such procedures for redemption as the Trustees may from time to time authorize; and the Trust will pay therefor the net asset value thereof, in accordance with the By-Laws and the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act. Payment for said Shares shall be made by the Trust to the Shareholder within seven days after the date on which the request for redemption is received in proper form. The obligation set forth in this Section 2 is subject to the provision that in the event that any time the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") is closed for other than weekends or holidays, or if permitted by the Rules of the Commission during periods when trading on the Exchange is restricted or during any emergency which makes it impracticable for the Trust to dispose of the investments of the applicable Series or to determine fairly the value of the net assets held with respect to such Series or during any other period permitted by order of the Commission for the protection of investors, such obligations may be suspended or postponed by the Trustees. The redemption price may in any case or cases be paid in cash or wholly or partly in kind in accordance with Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act if the Trustees determine that such payment is advisable in the interest of the remaining Shareholders of the Series of which the Shares are being redeemed. Subject to the foregoing, the selection and quantity of securities or other property so paid or delivered as all or part of the redemption price shall be determined by or under authority of the Trustees. In no case shall the Trust be liable for any delay of any corporation or other Person in transferring securities selected for delivery as all or part of any payment in kind.
Redemption and Purchases SECTION 3.01 Right to Redeem; Notices to Trustee.................................................................21 SECTION 3.02 Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed..............................................................22 SECTION 3.03
Redemption by Trust (a) Unless the Trustees otherwise determine with respect to a particular Series or Class at the time of establishing and designating the same, each Share of each Series or Class thereof that has been established and designated is subject to redemption (out of the assets belonging to the applicable Series or Class) by the Trust at the redemption price which would be applicable if such Share were then being redeemed by the Shareholder pursuant to Section 7.2 at any time if the Trustees determine that it is in the best interest of the Trust to so redeem such Shares, which determination may be delegated to the investment adviser of the Trust. Upon such redemption the holders of the Shares so redeemed shall have no further right with respect thereto other than to receive payment of such redemption price. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustees may cause the Trust to redeem (out of the assets belonging to the applicable Series or Class) all of the Shares of one or more Series or Classes held by (i) any Shareholder if the value of such Shares held by such Shareholder is less than the minimum amount established from time to time by the Trustees, (ii) all Shareholders of one or more Series or Classes if the value of such Shares held by all Shareholders is less than the minimum amount established from time to time by the Trustees or (iii) any Shareholder to reimburse the Trust for any loss or expense it has sustained or incurred by reason of the failure of such Shareholder to make full payment for Shares purchased by such Shareholder, or by reason of any defective redemption request, or by reason of indebtedness incurred because of such Shareholder or to collect any charge relating to a transaction effected for the benefit of such Shareholder or as provided in the prospectus relating to such Shares. (b) If the Trustees shall, at any time and in good faith, determine that direct or indirect ownership of Shares of any Series or Class thereof has or may become concentrated in any Person to an extent that would disqualify any Series as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code, then the Trustees shall have the power (but not the obligation), by such means as they deem equitable, to (i) call for the redemption of a number, or amount, of Shares held by such Person sufficient to maintain or bring the direct or indirect ownership of Shares into conformity with the requirements for such qualification, (ii) refuse to transfer or issue Shares of any Series or Class thereof to such Person whose acquisition of the Shares in question would result in such disqualification, or (iii) take such other actions as they deem necessary and appropriate to avoid such disqualification.
Optional Purchases by the Corporation Subject to compliance with applicable securities legislation and approval of applicable regulatory authorities, if any, the Corporation may from time to time purchase by private contract or otherwise any of the Warrants. Any such purchase shall be made at the lowest price or prices at which, in the opinion of the directors of the Corporation, such Warrants are then obtainable, plus reasonable costs of purchase, and may be made in such manner, from such persons and on such other terms as the Corporation, in its sole discretion, may determine. In the case of Warrant Certificates, Warrant Certificates representing the Warrants purchased pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall forthwith be delivered to and cancelled by the Warrant Agent and reflected accordingly on the register of Warrants. In the case of Uncertificated Warrants, the Warrants purchased pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be reflected accordingly on the register of Warrants and in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Depository under the book entry registration system. No Warrants shall be issued in replacement thereof.
REPURCHASE OR REDEMPTION OF SHARES BY THE TRUST (a) Any of the outstanding Shares of the Funds may be tendered for redemption at any time, and the Funds agree to redeem or repurchase the Shares so tendered in accordance with its obligations as set forth in the Organizational Documents and the Prospectus relating to the Shares. (b) The Funds or its designated agent shall pay: (i) the total amount of the redemption price consisting of the NAV less any applicable redemption fee to the redeeming shareholder or its agent, and (ii) except as may be otherwise required by FINRA Rules, any applicable deferred sales charges to NLD in accordance with NLD’s instructions on or before the fifth business day (or such other earlier business day as is customary in the investment company industry) subsequent to the Trust or its agent having received the notice of redemption in proper form. (c) Redemption of Shares or payment therefore may be suspended at times when the New York Stock Exchange is closed for any reason other than its customary weekend or holiday closings, when trading thereon is restricted, when an emergency exists as a result of which disposal by the Funds of securities owned by the Funds is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for the Funds fairly to determine the value of the Funds’ net assets, or during any other period when the SEC so requires or permits.
Redemptions by Trustee; Purchases by Depositor Any Unit tendered for redemption by a Unitholder or his duly authorized attorney to the Trustee at its unit investment trust division office shall be redeemed by the Trustee no later than the seventh calendar day following the day on which tender for redemption is made in proper form, provided that if such day of payment is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made no later than the first Business Day prior thereto (herein referred to as the "Settlement Date"). Unitholders must sign the request exactly as their name appears on the records of the Trustee. If the amount of redemption is $500 or less and the proceeds are payable to the Unitholders of record at the address of record, no signature guarantee is necessary for redemptions by individual account owners (including joint owners). Additional documentation may be requested, and a signature guarantee is always required, from corporations, executors, administrators, trustees, guardians and associations. The signatures must be guaranteed by a participant in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP) or such other signature guarantee program in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, as may be accepted by the Trustee. Subject to (a) the next succeeding paragraph, (b) payment by such Unitholder of any tax or other governmental charges which may be imposed thereon and (c) payments in the form of In Kind Distributions (as defined below), such redemption is to be made by payment of cash equivalent to the Unit Value determined on the basis of a Trust Fund Evaluation made in accordance with Section 5.01 determined by the Trustee as of the Evaluation Time on the Redemption Date, multiplied by the number of Units tendered for redemption (herein called the "Redemption Value"), or, if the Unitholder wishes to redeem a number of Units less than all those so tendered, multiplied by the number of Units so designated by such Unitholder for redemption. Units received for redemption by the Trustee on any day after the Evaluation Time will be held by the Trustee until the next day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and will be deemed to have been tendered on such day for redemption at the Redemption Value computed on that day. The portion of the Redemption Value which represents income shall be withdrawn from the Principal Account to the extent available. The balance paid on any Redemption Value, including income not paid from the Principal Account, if any, shall be withdrawn from the Principal Account to the extent that funds are available for such purpose. If such available funds shall be insufficient, the Trustee shall sell such Securities as have been designated on the current list for such purpose by the Supervisor (or by the Evaluator), as hereinafter in this Section 5.02 provided, in amounts as the Trustee in its discretion shall deem advisable or necessary in order to fund the Principal Account for purposes of such redemption. Sale of Securities by the Trustee shall be made in such manner as the Trustee shall determine will bring the best price obtainable for a Trust, subject to any limitations as to the minimum amount of Securities to be sold specified in the Reference Trust Agreement. In the event that either (i) funds are withdrawn from the Principal Account and are applied to the payment of income upon any redemption of Units or (ii) Securities are sold for the payment of the Redemption value and any portion of the proceeds of such sale is applied to the payment of income upon such redemption, then, in either such event, the Principal Account shall be reimbursed therefor at such time as sufficient funds may be next available in the Principal Account for such purpose. The Trustee may in its discretion, and shall when so directed by the Depositor in writing, suspend the right of redemption for Units of a Trust or postpone the date of payment of the Redemption Value for more than seven calendar days following the day on which tender for redemption is made (i) for any period during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than customary weekend and holiday closings or during which (as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission) trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted; (ii) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which disposal of the Securities by the Trustee is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable fairly to determine in accordance herewith the underlying value of the Securities; or (iii) for such other period as the Securities and Exchange Commission may by order permit, and shall not be liable to any person or in any way for any loss or damage which may result from any such suspension or postponement. Not later than the close of business on the day of tender of any Unit for redemption by a Unitholder other than the Depositor, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor of such tender. The Depositor shall have the right to purchase such Unit by notifying the Trustee of its election to make such purchase as soon as practicable thereafter but in no event subsequent to the close of business on the second succeeding Business Day after the day on which such Unit was tendered for redemption. Such purchase shall be made by payment by the Depositor to the Unitholder at the price so bid by making payment therefor to the Unitholder in an amount not less than the Redemption Value on the day of tender not later than the day on which the Units would otherwise have been redeemed by the Trustee to such Unitholder. So long as the Depositor maintains a bid in the secondary market, the Depositor may repurchase the Units tendered to the Trustee for redemption by the Depositor but shall be under no obligation to maintain any bids and may, at any time while so maintaining such bids, cease to do so immediately at any time or from time to time without notice. Any Units so purchased by the Depositor may at the option of the Depositor be tendered to the Trustee for redemption at the unit investment trust office of the Trustee in the manner provided in the first paragraph of this Section 5.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.02, until the close of business on the second Business Day after the day on which such Unit was tendered for redemption, the Trustee is hereby irrevocably authorized in its discretion, in the event that the Depositor does not purchase any Units tendered to the Trustee for redemption, or in the event that a Unit is being tendered by the Depositor for redemption, in lieu of redeeming Units, to sell Units in the over-the-counter market through any broker-dealer of its choice for the account of the tendering Unitholder at prices which will return to the Unitholder an amount in cash, net after deducting brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and other charges, equal to or in excess of the Redemption Value which such Unitholder would otherwise be entitled to receive on redemption pursuant to this Section 5.02. The Trustee shall pay to the Unitholder the net proceeds of any such sale on the day on which such Unitholder would otherwise be entitled to receive payment of the Redemption Value hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.02, any Unitholder may, if such Unitholder tenders at least that minimum amount of Units for redemption specified in the Prospectus, request at the time of tender to receive from the Trustee in lieu of cash such Unitholder's pro rata share of each Security then held by such Trust; provided, however, if a Unitholder tenders for redemption Units having an aggregate value of at least the amount specified in the Prospectus, if any, the Depositor reserves the right to direct the Trustee to make an In Kind Distribution rather than make a cash payment. Such tendering Unitholder will receive his pro rata number of whole shares of each of the Securities comprising the portfolio of such Trust and cash from the Principal Account equal to the value of the fractional shares to which such tendering Unitholder is entitled. Such pro rata share of each Security and the related cash to which such tendering Unitholder is entitled is referred to herein as an "In Kind Distribution." An In Kind Distribution will be made by the Trustee through the distribution of each of the Securities in book-entry form to the account of the Unitholder's bank or broker-dealer at DTC. If funds in the Principal Account are insufficient to cover the required cash distribution to the tendering Unitholder, the Trustee shall sell Securities according to the criteria discussed herein. The Depositor may terminate the right of Unitholder to make In-Kind Distributions at any time or from time to time without notice. The Supervisor shall maintain with the Trustee a current list of Securities designated to be sold for the purpose of funding the Principal Account for redemption of Units tendered for redemption and, to the extent necessary, for payment of expenses under this Indenture. In connection therewith, the Depositor may specify in the Prospectus and/or the Reference Trust Agreement the minimum amounts of any Securities to be sold at any one time. If the Supervisor shall for any reason fail to maintain such a list, the Trustee may in its sole discretion designate a current list of Securities for such purposes. The net proceeds of any sale of such Securities representing income shall be credited to the Principal Account and then disbursed therefrom for payment of expenses and payments to Unitholders required to be paid under this Indenture. Any balance remaining after such disbursements shall remain credited to the Principal Account. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable or responsible in any way for depreciation or loss incurred by reason of any sale of Securities made pursuant to this Section 5.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no In Kind Distribution requests made pursuant to this Section 5.02 and submitted during the 30 business days prior to the trust's Mandatory Termination Date will be honored. In addition, no unitholder will be eligible for an In Kind Distribution of securities pursuant to Section 9.02. Furthermore, the availability of In Kind Distributions may be modified or discontinued as described in the Prospectus.
