AMC bond 以債代息?

IB收到Corporate Action (TenderIssue), 見下文

再上網search, 應該係問你要不要用你的舊債(2025)換新債(2026)

現在隻bond AMC Corp 5.75 Jun15'25得返$33

 

睇返個Corporate Action:
 

"$501.25 principal amount of New Notes"   >>  即係新債價是$50.125, 比現價多了

 
"due 2026"  >>  但新債要遲一年到期, 好似係May 1, 2026 (ref: businesswire.com)

"12% Cash/PIK"   >>  12%是派息多了嗎?

但PIK又是什麼呢?

原來PIK(Payment-In-Kind)指以債代息 (ref: investopedia)

即係如果公司沒錢付息給你, 可給你一些bond unit代替

 

"20.00 P.A Early Tender Premium"  >>  估計是 若提早call走 會送2% (ref: westfinancial, 另外, 文中有句"issuers are likely doing this for their benefit, not for the benefit of bondholders" 我很同意)

 

總結:   公司用新債換舊債和以債代息都係想buy time遲些付息, 有機會渡過難關

            我會博佢唔執, 繼續持有收息

            而且不想遲一年到期, 會take no action
