A fixed-to-floating rate senior unsecured note is a type of corporate loan-like security that pays a set interest rate for an initial period and then switches to a variable interest rate tied to a common short-term benchmark. “Senior” means it has higher repayment priority than lower-ranked debts, while “unsecured” means it isn’t backed by specific collateral. Investors care because it combines early income predictability with later sensitivity to market interest rates and the issuer’s credit strength — like a mortgage that starts with fixed payments then becomes adjustable.
basis pointsfinancial
Basis points are a way to measure small changes in interest rates or percentages, where one basis point equals 0.01%. For example, if a loan's interest rate increases by 50 basis points, it's gone up by 0.50%. They help people understand tiny differences in rates that can add up over time, making financial comparisons clearer.
three-month term sofrfinancial
Three-month term SOFR is a forward-looking benchmark interest rate that estimates the expected cost of borrowing U.S. dollars for a three-month period, based on secured overnight financing market activity. Investors care because it sets the floating interest paid or received on many loans, bonds and derivatives—like a posted speed limit that determines how fast interest costs or returns can change—so shifts in this rate directly affect debt expenses, cash yields and valuations.
redemption pricefinancial
The redemption price is the amount of money a person receives when they sell or redeem a bond or investment before it matures. It’s important because it determines how much you get back and can affect your overall profit or loss on the investment. Think of it like the price you get when returning a gift card early—it's the value you receive at that time.
registration statementregulatory
A registration statement is a formal document that companies file with a government agency to offer new shares of stock to the public. It provides essential information about the company's finances, operations, and risks, helping investors make informed decisions. Think of it as a detailed product description that ensures transparency and trust before buying into a company.
prospectus supplementregulatory
A prospectus supplement is an additional document provided alongside a company's main offering details, offering updated or extra information about a specific financial product being sold. It helps investors understand the latest terms, risks, and details of the investment, similar to how an update or revision clarifies or expands on original instructions, ensuring they have current and complete information before making a decision.
base prospectusregulatory
A base prospectus is a detailed document that provides essential information about a financial offering, such as a bond or share issue. It acts like a comprehensive guide for investors, explaining what the investment involves, the risks involved, and how the process works. This helps investors make informed decisions before committing their money.
