Description:
Always initiated by the issuer. Exchange of holdings for other securities and/or cash. The exchange can be either mandatory or voluntary involving the exchange of outstanding securities for different securities and/or cash. For example, "exchange offer", "capital reorganisation" or "funds separation".

Best Practice:
If a full or partial position is outstanding on the redemption date and confirmation from the agent of the redemption, proceeds of this should be agreed between counterparties and paid on the pay date of the event. In the event of a redemption payment being made after pay date, the lender should continue to collateralise the full loan until the redemption payment is made.

Where applicable, and if agreed between both counterparties, the redemption proceeds can be netted with any cash collateral that has been exchanged on the position previously. As with redemptions, coupon payments upon confirmation of the event should be paid on pay date of the event. (COAC-79)
