Current Attempt in Progress
Oriole Company issued its 9%, 25-year mortgage bonds in the principal amount of $2,840,000 on January 2, 2011, at a discount of
$146,000, which it proceeded to amortize by charges to expense over the life of the issue on a straight-line basis. The indenture
securing the issue provided that the bonds could be called for redemption in total but not in part at any time before maturity at 106%
of the principal amount, but it did not provide for any sinking fund.
On December 18, 2025, the company issued its 11%, 20-year debenture bonds in the principal amount of $3,930,000 at 102, and the
proceeds were used to redeem the 9%, 25-year mortgage bonds on January 2, 2026. The indenture securing the new issue did not
provide for any sinking fund or for redemption before maturity.
