In a 3-year non-call period (NC3), an issuer goes public in month 18.

If they exercise the equity clawback, how does this affect the 'yield-to-worst' (YTW) calculation for the remaining bondholders?

  1. The YTW is immediately fixed to the 108.50 equity claw premium redemption price for every remaining holder.
  2. The YTW remains exactly identical to the YTM because the equity claw is only ever a partial redemption.
  3. It has no effect at all, since the yield-to-worst measure considers only the final stated maturity of the bond instrument.
  4. The YTW may shift if the exercise of the claw changes the likelihood of the remaining bonds being called at the NC3 date.
