Terms of issue
The document setting out every condition of a particular series: par value, how coupons are calculated, dates, put offers, collateral.
How to read the number
It is the only place where the terms are described in full; screens and terminals show an extract from it.
When the metric lies
Where the screen and the document disagree, the document wins. The clauses on early redemption and coupon resets live there and appear on no instrument card.
Also known as: issue documentation, conditions of the issue
