An Assortment of Brady Flavors - Past Due Interest (PDI)

Past Due Interest (PDI)

• Semi-annual 12 year amortizing LIBOR market coupon issued at a discount

Capitalization Bonds (C-Bonds)

• Issued in 1994 by Brazil in their Brady plan.

• Registered 20 year amortizing bonds initially offered with a fixed below market coupon rate while stepping up to 8% during the first 6 years and holds until maturity.

• However, these bonds capitalize (or add to principal) the interest difference between the current step coupon rate and the notional 8%, thus interest accrues on both the principal and any capitalized interest.

• Both capitalized interest and principal payments are made after a 10 year grace period.
