Redemption or call
Right of the issuer to force holders on a certain date to redeem their convertibles for cash. The objective usually is to force holders to convert into common prior to the redemption deadline. Typically, an issue is not called away unless the conversion price is 15-25% below the current level of common. An exception might be where an issuer's tax rate is high, and the issuer could replace it with debt securities at a lower after-tax cost.

REDEMPTION
Redemption, (n.)
Deliverance of sinners from the penalty of their sin, through their murder of the deity against whom they sinned. The doctrine of Redemption is the fundamental mystery of our holy religion, and whoso believeth in it shall not perish, but have everlasting life in which to try to understand it.
We must awake Man's spirit from his sin,
And take some special measure for redeeming it;
Though hard indeed the task to get it in
Among the angels any way but teaming it,
Or purify it otherwise than steaming it.
I'm awkward at Redemption -- a beginner:
My method is to crucify the sinner.

2. purchasing back something previously sold [syn: repurchase, buyback]
redemption
the purchase back of something that had been lost, by the payment of a ransom. the greek word so rendered is _apolutrosis_, a word occurring nine times in scripture, and always with the idea of a ransom or price paid, i.e., redemption by a lutron (see matt. 20:28; mark 10:45). there are instances in the lxx. version of the old testament of the use of _lutron_ in man's relation to man (lev. 19:20; 25:51; ex. 21:30; num. 35:31, 32; isa. 45:13; prov. 6:35), and in the same sense of man's relation to god (num. 3:49; 18:15). there are many passages in the new testament which represent christ's sufferings under the idea of a ransom or price, and the result thereby secured is a purchase or redemption (comp. acts 20:28; 1 cor. 6:19, 20; gal. 3:13; 4:4, 5; eph. 1:7; col. 1:14; 1 tim. 2:5, 6; titus 2:14; heb. 9:12; 1 pet. 1:18, 19; rev. 5:9). the idea running through all these texts, however various their reference, is that of payment made for our redemption. the debt against us is not viewed as simply cancelled, but is fully paid. christ's blood or life, which he surrendered for them, is the "ransom" by which the deliverance of his people from the servitude of sin and from its penal consequences is secured. it is the plain doctrine of scripture that "christ saves us neither by the mere exercise of power, nor by his doctrine, nor by his example, nor by the moral influence which he exerted, nor by any subjective influence on his people, whether natural or mystical, but as a satisfaction to divine justice, as an expiation for sin, and as a ransom from the curse and authority of the law, thus reconciling us to god by making it consistent with his perfection to exercise mercy toward sinners" (hodge's systematic theology).
