§ 26432 Bond Indenture Amendment Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •A contract for bonds can have rules for changing it later, but only if most bond owners agree.
  • •The rules must say exactly how changes will affect everyone who owns the bonds.
  • •If the government or a public group owns bonds, they might not get to vote on changes, but the changes still apply to them.

Example

A city sells bonds to build a park and later wants to change the payment plan.

The city can change the plan if most bond owners agree, but the new rules must clearly explain how it affects all bond owners, even those who didn’t vote.

§ 26432 Bond Indenture Amendment Rules

An indenture may include a clause prescribing a procedure by which the terms and conditions of the indenture may be subsequently amended or modified with the consent of the board and the vote or written assent of the holders of a specified principal amount of the bonds issued and outstanding. Such clause may provide for meetings of bondholders and for the manner in which the consent of the bondholders may be given. The clause shall specifically state the effect of such amendment or modification upon the rights of the holders of all of the bonds and interest coupons appertaining thereto, whether attached thereto or detached therefrom. With respect to any clause providing for the modification or amendment of an indenture, the board may agree that bonds held by the board, by any department, political subdivision or agency of the State of California, or by any public corporation, municipality, district or political subdivision shall not be counted as outstanding bonds, or be entitled to vote or assent but shall nevertheless, be subject to any such modification or amendment. (Added by Stats. 1947, Ch. 822.)
