In the context of bond emission, a company typically assumes obligations (operational restrictions) called covenants. These covenants are designed to protect the interests of bondholders. Depending on the business model, these covenants may include: (i) a prohibition on the payment of dividends; (ii) a pledge of assets; (iii) a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio; (iv) a loan-to-project cost (LTC) ratio. We will monitor the issuer's compliance with these covenants to ensure bondholders are protected.
