RE:RE:RE:Series 7 G's are good for 5 years.Debt matures, Preferreds are perpetual. CVE/HSE would only need to worry about paying the interest.
For the company this is a double edge knife. Good, don't have to worry about the principal. BAD, have to worry about rates going up, and limits (causes problems) on what the company can do.... as is the present situation.
To take out the Preferreds it will basically cost them $25 since any significant amount of buying on the open market would push the share price up to $25.
So, while it makes sense to take out the preferreds at these low prices, they can't.
All just my opinion.
