What is the primary reason for the 'Minimum Remaining Principal' requirement in an equity clawback provision?

  1. To ensure the company remains levered enough to maintain its high-yield credit rating.
  2. To prevent the issuer from using all its cash on debt retirement instead of business operations.
  3. To protect the liquidity of the bond for the remaining investors by preventing the issue from becoming too small to trade.
  4. To comply with bank lending covenants that require a minimum amount of junior capital in the stack.
