Redemption Value

Description of Redemption Value. Explanation.

Definition Redemption Value. Description.

The Redemption Value is the par or premium price of a debt security or preferred stock issue for which it can be repaid at or before its Maturity Date. It is the price at which a bond or Preferred Stock can be called by the issuing company. The debt instrument is then repurchased. The call price before its maturity date typically exceeds the Face Value of the bond by a Call Premium, recognizing that the holder will lose income and ownership from the forced buyback.

A bond is said to be purchased at a premium if its purchase price exceeds its redemption value.
If the purchase price of a bond is less than its redemption value, it is said to be purchased at a discount.
