hard · Debt Capital Markets

If an issuer utilizes portability to avoid a 101% put, but the bonds are trading in the secondary market at 105% of par, what is the likely investor reaction?

  1. The market price will immediately drop to 101% to match the avoided put price.
  2. Investors will be indifferent or pleased, as the bonds are worth more in the market than the put price.
  3. Investors will sue to force the portability test to fail so they can capture the 101% price.
  4. Investors will be frustrated because they lose the opportunity to sell at 101%.
