If an issuer decides *not* to call a bond on the first call date even though it is economically beneficial to do so, what might happen to the bond's spread in the secondary market?

  1. The bond's quoted spread will immediately tighten all the way to zero.
  2. The price will rise sharply as investors reward the issuer for keeping the bond outstanding.
  3. The bond will be automatically upgraded by the rating agencies as a direct result of the decision.
  4. The spread will likely widen as investors perceive a 'non-call risk'.
