Shanghai Stock Exchange: Business Of Bond Repayment On Installments Adjusted

Date 01/04/2014

Since the end of last year, reduction of bond nominal value has been adopted for the business of repayment on installments for the bonds listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) according to the new rule. On October 18, 2013, the “SSE Trading Rules” (amended in 2013) issued by the SSE stipulated that reduction of bond nominal value should be mainly adopted for bond repayment on installments, and reduction of bond positions or other ways could be adopted according to market conditions. Reduction of bond nominal value for the business of bond repayment on installments is conducive to improving the efficiency of the business. When bond issuers repay on installments, the bond positions held in the investors’ accounts will remain unchanged, with the nominal value of one lot of bonds reduced correspondingly. Besides, payable bond interests should be calculated according to the adjusted bond nominal value. Opening reference price after repayment on installments = closing price before the day for repayment on installments – 100 * the ratio to be repaid this time.
