Impact Assessment

Market Impact: Limited to holders of this specific HCC debenture series. The early redemption provides liquidity to debenture holders but removes this instrument from trading.

Investor Impact: High for existing debenture holders who must hold their positions through record date to receive redemption proceeds. No new positions can be established from December 31, 2025.

Operational Impact: Trading members must update trading systems and communicate with affected clients. The 0.01% coupon rate indicates this is a deeply discounted or special purpose debenture series.

Liquidity Impact: Trading suspension eliminates secondary market liquidity for this instrument, though this is temporary as redemption will provide exit to holders.

Impact Justification

High severity for debenture holders as trading is suspended, but medium overall impact as it affects specific debt instruments only. Record date and no-dealing period clearly defined for orderly redemption process.
