unsecured bonds financial
"the unsecured bonds issued by TSMC and its subsidiaries"
Unsecured bonds are loans a company issues that are not backed by specific assets or collateral; investors rely on the issuer’s promise to pay rather than a claim on property if the company fails. They matter to investors because they carry higher risk than secured debt—so issuers usually pay higher interest—but also sit behind secured creditors in repayment order, which affects potential recovery if the issuer defaults.
coupon rate financial
"Total Amount (in billions) | Coupon Rate | Repayment"
The coupon rate is the annual interest percentage a bond or similar debt security promises to pay, calculated on its face value and usually delivered in regular payments like a steady paycheck. For investors it shows the expected income from holding the bond and helps compare returns across investments; it also affects a bond’s market price because higher or lower prevailing interest rates make that fixed payment more or less attractive.
bullet repayment financial
"NT$14.0 | 2.03% | Bullet repayment; interest payable annually"
