NSD Service: BPUT Corporate Action "Early Redemption of Securities or Their Acquisition"
BPUT Corporate Action: Early Redemption of Securities or Their Acquisition by the Issuer
To ensure that the rights attached to retired bonds are recorded, the Issuer must hold a treasury securities account. To open such an account with NSD, the issuer needs to sign a Treasury Securities Account Agreement (if not already in place). If retirement takes place through the exchange, the Issuer additionally submits to NSD, on paper, an instruction for transfer of securities at the end of clearing (Conditional Instruction) in Form MF014, and open a trading sub-account on the treasury securities account for the Issuer or its retirement agent, by submitting Form AF090 with operation code 90 via the web account for depository and settlement services.
