§ 26417 Bond Indenture Terms

Key Takeaways

  • •The government can make special agreements (called indentures) about how they borrow money using bonds.
  • •These agreements can include details like how much money is borrowed, when it needs to be paid back, and how much interest is charged.
  • •If you own one of these bonds, you have to follow the rules in the agreement and the law.
  • •The bond will have a reference to the agreement on it, so you know the rules apply.

Example

Imagine the government needs money to build a new school. They decide to borrow money by selling bonds to people.

The government makes an agreement (indenture) that says they will pay back the money in 10 years with 2% interest. If you buy one of these bonds, you get your money back with interest in 10 years, but you have to follow the rules in the agreement.

§ 26417 Bond Indenture Terms

The board may enter into indentures providing for the aggregate principal amount, date, or dates, maturities, interest rate, denominations, form, registration transfer and interchange of such bonds and coupons, and the terms and conditions upon which the same shall be executed, issued, secured, sold, paid, redeemed, funded and refunded. Reference on the face of the bonds to such indenture by its date of adoption, or the apparent date on the face thereof, is sufficient to incorporate all of the provisions thereof and of this chapter into the body of the bonds and their appurtenant coupons. Each taker and subsequent holder of the bonds or coupons, whether the coupons are attached to or detached from the bonds, has recourse to all of the provisions of the indenture and of this chapter, and is bound thereby. (Added by Stats. 1947, Ch. 822.)
