Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Senior Notes financial
"1.707% Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2027"
Redemption Price financial
"the cash redemption price (the “Redemption Price”)"
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.
accrued and unpaid interest financial
"plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date"
Accrued and unpaid interest is the interest that has built up on a loan or debt but hasn't been paid yet. It's like owing your friend money for a favor over time—you're expected to pay it later, even though you haven't paid it yet. This matters because it shows how much you owe beyond the original amount borrowed.
