Optional Redemption Except as set forth below, the Issuer shall not be entitled to redeem the Securities. On and after May 15, 2017, the Issuer shall be entitled at its option to redeem all or a portion of the Securities upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount on the redemption date), plus accrued interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on May 15 of the years set forth below: Period Redemption Price 2017 105.156 % 2018 103.438 % 2019 101.719 % 2020 and thereafter 100.000 % In addition, at any time prior to May 15, 2017, the Issuer shall be entitled at its option on one or more occasions to redeem Securities (which includes Additional Securities, if any) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (which includes Additional Securities, if any) issued prior to such date at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 106.875%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), with an amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds from one or more Equity Offerings; provided, however, that (1) at least 65% of such aggregate principal amount of Securities (which includes Additional Securities, if any) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (with Securities held, directly or indirectly, by the Issuer or its Affiliates being deemed to be not outstanding for purposes of such calculation); and (2) notice of such redemption has been given within 90 days after the date of the related Equity Offering. Prior to May 15, 2017, the Issuer shall be entitled at its option to redeem all or a portion of the Securities at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).
Redemption for Taxation Reasons The Notes will be redeemable, at the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s option, in whole, but not in part, upon giving not less than thirty nor more than sixty calendar days’ notice to the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee (which notice will be irrevocable) at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest and any Additional Amounts payable with respect thereto, only if the Issuer or a Guarantor has or shall become obligated to pay Additional Amounts (x) with respect to such Notes, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, treaties, or regulations of the Cayman Islands or Brazil or any Governmental Authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws, treaties or regulations, or (y) with respect to the Guarantee, in excess of the Additional Amounts that a Guarantor would pay if payments by it were subject to deduction or withholding at a rate of 15%, or 25% in the case of beneficiaries located in tax haven jurisdictions for purposes of Brazilian tax law, in each case determined without regard to any interest, fees, penalties or other similar additions to tax, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, treaties or regulations of the Cayman Islands, Brazil or any Governmental Authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws, treaties or regulations, which change or amendment (either in clause (x) or (y)) occurs after the date of issuance of the Notes. No such notice of redemption will be given earlier than sixty calendar days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or a Guarantor would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of such Notes or the Guarantee were then due. Prior to the publication or mailing of any notice of redemption of the Notes as described above, the Issuer or a Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee an opinion of an independent legal counsel of recognized standing stating that the Issuer or a Guarantor would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts due to the changes in tax laws, treaties or regulations or in the application or official interpretation thereof. The Trustee shall accept such opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth above, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.
Redemption for tax reasons The Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole, but not in part, at any time at their Early Redemption Amount, together, if appropriate, with accrued but unpaid interest to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption under this Condition 6(b), if the Issuer shall determine that as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the jurisdiction in which the Issuer is incorporated or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Issue Date of the Notes, the Issuer would be required to pay Additional Amounts, as provided in Condition 7, on the occasion of the next payment due in respect of the Notes. Notice of intention to redeem Notes will be given at least once in accordance with Condition 16 not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption under this Condition 6(b), provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the effective date of such change or amendment and that at the time notice of such redemption is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect. From and after any redemption date, if moneys for redemption of Notes shall have been made available for redemption on such redemption date, such Notes shall cease to bear interest, if applicable, and the only right of the holders of such Notes and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall be to receive payment of the Early Redemption Amount and, if appropriate, all unpaid interest accrued to (but excluding) such redemption date.
Redemption at the Option of the Issuer If so specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the Issuer may, having (unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement) given not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ notice to the Trustee and the holders of the Notes of this Series in accordance with Condition 15 (which notice shall be irrevocable), repay all or some only of the Notes of this Series then outstanding (as defined in the Trust Deed) on the Optional Redemption Date(s) and at the Optional Redemption Amount(s) indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement together, if appropriate, with accrued interest. In the event of redemption of some only of such Notes of this Series, such redemption must be for an amount being the Minimum Redemption Amount or a Maximum Redemption Amount, as indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement. In the case of a partial redemption of Definitive Notes of this Series, the Notes of this Series to be repaid will be selected individually by lot not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption and a list of the Notes of this Series called for redemption will be published in accordance with Condition 15 not less than 30 days prior to such date. In the case of a partial redemption of Notes which are represented by a Global Note, the relevant Notes will be redeemed in accordance with the rules of Euroclear and/or Clearstream and/or CMU, as the case may be.
Final Redemption Unless previously redeemed, or purchased and cancelled, the Bonds will be redeemed at their principal amount on the Interest Payment Date falling on, or nearest to, June 26, 2017. The Bonds may not be redeemed at the option of the Issuer other than in accordance with this Condition.
Early Redemption Option Freddie Mac’s right to redeem the Original Notes prior to the Maturity Date on any Payment Date at the earlier of (a) on or after the Payment Date on which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Reference Obligations is less than or equal to 10% of the Cut-off Date Balance of the Reference Pool; or (b) on or after the Payment Date in September 2026, by paying an amount equal to the outstanding Class Principal Balance, after allocation of the Tranche Write-down Amount or Tranche Write-up Amount, if any, for such Payment Date, of each Class of Original Notes (without regard to any exchanges of Exchangeable Notes for MAC Notes), plus accrued and unpaid interest. If on the Early Redemption Date a Class of MAC Notes that is entitled to principal is outstanding, all principal amounts that are payable by Freddie Mac on Exchangeable Notes that were exchanged for such MAC Notes will be allocated to and payable on such MAC Notes in accordance with the exchange proportions applicable to the related Combination.
Early Redemption Amounts For the purposes of paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) above, Notes will be redeemed at an amount (the “Early Redemption Amount”) calculated as follows:
Redemption at maturity Unless previously redeemed or purchased and cancelled as specified below, each Note will be redeemed by the Issuer at its Final Redemption Amount specified in the applicable Final Terms in the relevant Specified Currency on the Maturity Date specified in the applicable Final Terms.
Partial Redemption If less than all the Debentures for the time being outstanding are at any time to be redeemed, the Corporation shall, at least 15 days before the date upon which the Redemption Notice is to be given, notify the Trustee by a Written Direction of the Corporation of its intention to redeem such Debentures and of the aggregate principal amount of Debentures to be redeemed. The Debentures to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee (i) on a pro rata basis to the nearest multiple of $1,000 in accordance with the principal amount of the Debentures registered in the name of each holder, or (ii) by lot in such manner as the Trustee deems equitable, subject to any required approval of the exchange or market on which the Debentures are then listed, as may be required from time to time. No Debenture shall be redeemed in part unless the principal amount redeemed is $1,000 or a multiple thereof. For this purpose, the Trustee may make, and from time to time vary, regulations with respect to the manner in which such Debentures may be drawn for redemption and regulations so made shall be valid and binding upon all holders of such Debentures notwithstanding the fact that as a result thereof one or more of such Debentures may become subject to redemption in part only. In the event that one or more of such Debentures becomes subject to redemption in part only, upon surrender of any such Debentures for payment of the Redemption Price, together with interest accrued but unpaid to but excluding the Redemption Date, the Corporation shall execute and the Trustee shall certify and deliver without charge to the holder thereof or upon the holder’s order one or more new Debentures for the unredeemed part of the principal amount of the Debenture or Debentures so surrendered. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Debenture” or “Debentures” as used in this Article 4 shall be deemed to mean or include any part of the principal amount of any Debenture which in accordance with the foregoing provisions has become subject to redemption.
Early Redemption The Original Notes are subject to early redemption by the Issuer as set forth in Article III of the Debt Agreement. If the Issuer elects to exercise its early redemption option with respect to the Original Notes, the Issuer shall give written notice by an Authorized Officer of its intention to exercise such option to the Global Agent of the principal amount of the Original Notes to be so redeemed in accordance with the Terms applicable to such Note. At the request of the Issuer, the Global Agent shall cause notice of redemption to be given to the Holders of Original Notes (and MAC Notes representing interests in the Exchangeable Notes) in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in the Debt Agreement in the name of and at the expense of Issuer.
