Callable
There are two types of redeemable preference stocks: forced redemption and arbitrary redemption.
1. Mandatory redemption
Mandatory redemption, that is, when the shares are issued, the joint stock company has the option to redeem or not. Once the company issuing the stock decides to redeem it on the required terms, shareholders have no choice but to return the stock. And stockholders do not have any initiative.
2. Arbitrary redemption
Arbitrary redemption, that is, shareholders have the right to choose whether to require the company to redeem. If the shareholders are unwilling to continue to hold the stock within the prescribed period, the joint stock company must not refuse to buy back on the redemption terms.
In reality, most redeemable shares belong to the first category, and the initiative to redeem is in the hands of joint stock companies. The purpose of stock companies to redeem preferred stock is generally to reduce the burden of dividends. As a result, redemptions are often issued when lower preference stocks can be used to replace issued preference stocks. The redemption price is specified in advance and is usually higher than the stock market value. The purpose is to compensate shareholders for the losses that may be caused by the stock being redeemed, protect the interests of stock holders, and also regulate the redemption behavior of stock companies .
