A syndicate desk suggests a 'pricing flex' that increases the OID from 99.50 to 98.50 while keeping the coupon the same.

What is the desk attempting to do?

  1. Lower the total amount of debt the issuer must repay.
  2. Reduce the periodic cash interest burden of the issuer.
  3. Increase the yield to maturity to attract more investors.
  4. Decrease the yield to maturity to save the issuer money.
