Original Issue Discount Notes. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if this Note is an Original Issue Discount Note, the amount payable in the event of redemption or repayment prior to the Stated Maturity hereof in lieu of the principal amount due at the Stated Maturity hereof shall be the Amortized Face Amount of this Note as of the Redemption Date or the date of repayment, as the case may be, multiplied by the Redemption Price. The "Amortized Face Amount" of this Note shall be the amount equal to (a) the Issue Price (as set forth on the face hereof) plus (b) that portion of the difference between the Issue Price and the principal amount hereof that has accrued at the Yield to Maturity (as set forth on the face hereof) (computed in accordance with generally accepted United States bond yield computation principles using a constant yield method) at the date as of which the Amortized Face Amount is calculated but in no event shall the Amortized Face Amount of this Note exceed its principal amount. The constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day year convention, a compounding period that, except for the Initial Period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between Interest Payment Dates (with ratable accruals within a compounding period, a coupon rate equal to the initial coupon rate applicable to this Note and an assumption that the Maturity of this Note will not be accelerated). If the period from the Original Issue Date to the initial Interest Payment Date (the "Initial Period") is shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a proportionate amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the Initial Period is longer than the compounding period, then such period will be divided into a regular compounding period and a short period, with the short period being treated as provided in the preceding sentence.
Original Issue Discount Notes. The Company may issue Notes at a price lower than their principal amount or lower than their minimum guaranteed repayment amount at maturity (an “Original Issue Discount Note”). The applicable Pricing Supplement will specify whether the relevant Note is an Original Issue Discount Note. For any Notes that are not represented by a Master Note, the applicable Note will also specify whether the relevant Note is an Original Issue Discount Note. For the avoidance of doubt, a note issued with “de minimis original issue discount” for U.S. federal tax purposes shall not be deemed to be an Original Issue Discount Note. Prepayment/Redemption: The Notes may be subject to prepayment at the option of the Holders of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the applicable Pricing Supplement on their respective prepayment option dates, if any. Prepayment option dates, if any, will be fixed at the time of sale and set forth in the applicable Pricing Supplement. If no prepayment option dates are indicated for a Note, then that Note may not be prepaid at the option of the Holder prior to its Stated Maturity Date. The Notes may be subject to redemption by the Company on and after their respective Initial Redemption Dates, if any. Initial Redemption Dates, if any, will be fixed at the time of sale and set forth in the applicable Pricing Supplement. If no Initial Redemption Dates are indicated for a Note, then that Note will not be redeemable at the option of the Company prior to its Stated Maturity Date. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Note and/or the applicable Pricing Supplement, any notes that are redeemable at the Company’s option may be redeemed only on an Interest Payment Date on or after the Initial Redemption Date.
Original Issue Discount Notes. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if this Note is an Original Issue Discount Note as specified on the face hereof, the amount payable in the event the principal amount hereof is declared to be due and payable immediately by reason of an Event of Default or in the event of redemption or repayment hereof prior to the Stated Maturity hereof, in lieu of the principal amount due at the Stated Maturity hereof, will be the Amortized Face Amount of this Note as of the date of declaration, redemption or repayment, as the case may be. The "Amortized Face Amount" of this Note will be the amount equal to (a) the principal amount of this Note multiplied by the Issue Price specified on the face hereof plus (b) the portion of the difference between the dollar amount determined pursuant to the preceding clause (a) and the principal amount hereof that has accreted at the Yield to Maturity specified on the face hereof (computed in accordance with generally accepted United States bond yield computation principles) to such date of declaration, redemption or repayment but in no event will the Amortized Face Amount of this Note exceed its principal amount.
Original Issue Discount Notes. Each Original Issue Discount Note shall contain on its face a legend substantially in the form of Exhibit F.
Original Issue Discount Notes. U.S. Holders of debt securities issued with original issue discount (“OID”), other than Short-Term Notes (as defined below), will be subject to special tax accounting rules, as described in greater detail below. Debt securities issued with OID will be referred to as “Original Issue Discount Notes.” U.S. Holders of such debt securities should be aware that they generally must include OID in gross income (as ordinary income) in advance of the receipt of cash attributable to that income. However, U.S. Holders of such debt securities generally will not be required to include separately in income cash payments received on the debt securities, even if denominated as interest, to the extent such payments do not constitute “qualified stated interest” (as defined below). Unless otherwise specified in the applicable supplement, OID on a debt security generally will be considered foreign source income and, for purposes of the U.S. foreign tax credit, generally will be considered passive category income. Notice will be given when the Bank determines that a particular debt security will be an Original Issue Discount Note. Additional rules applicable to Original Issue Discount Notes that are denominated in or determined by reference to a currency or currencies other than the U.S. dollar are described under “Foreign Currency Notes” below. A debt security with an “issue price” that is less than its “stated redemption price at maturity” (the sum of all payments to be made on the debt security other than “qualified stated interest”) will be issued with OID in an amount equal to such difference unless such difference is de minimis (generally, less than 0.25 percent of the stated redemption price at maturity multiplied by the number of complete years to maturity). The “issue price” of each debt security in a particular offering will be the first price at which a substantial amount of that particular offering is sold for cash (other than to an underwriter, broker, placement agent or wholesaler).
Original Issue Discount Notes. The Company may issue Notes at a price lower than their principal amount or lower than their minimum guaranteed repayment amount at maturity (an “Original Issue Discount Note”). The applicable Pricing Supplement will specify whether the relevant Note is an Original Issue Discount Note. For any Notes that are not represented by a Master Note, the applicable Note will also specify whether the relevant Note is an Original Issue Discount Note. For the avoidance of doubt, a note issued with “de minimis original issue discount” for U.S. federal tax purposes shall not be deemed to be an Original Issue Discount Note. Prepayment/Redemption: If so specified in, and in accordance with the terms of, the applicable Global Note or the applicable Pricing Supplement, the Notes may be subject to prepayment at the option of the holders of the Notes on their respective optional prepayment dates, if any, set forth in the applicable Pricing Supplement. If no optional prepayment dates are indicated for a Note, then that Note may not be prepaid at the option of the holder prior to its Stated Maturity Date. If so specified in, and in accordance with the terms of, the applicable Global Note or the applicable Pricing Supplement, the Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company at the price(s) and on the date(s), and on the other applicable terms and subject to the applicable conditions, as set forth in the applicable Global Note or the applicable Pricing Supplement.
