Remarketable Bond
Definition
Remarketable Bond. A Corporate Bond program where the Coupon Rate on outstanding bonds is periodically reset through an auction process
Notes
A Remarketing Agent periodically surveys bond holders to identify those who want to sell bonds. The agent surveys market (or holds an auction) to determine the interest rate at which the bonds can be resold. The rate on all outstanding bonds resets at the new rate.
These programs are perpetual in the sense they often don't have a fixed maturity date, but the company can redeem them. If an auction fails, i.e., the agent can't place all the bonds.
