What's to become of COWN's outstanding debt such as COWNL? Proxy doesn't appear to mention whether it's to remain outstanding as is or be assumed.

@Fain2018 By "need" if you mean "required," I'm not sure... However, the COWNL prospectus appears to me to imply there are two possible outcomes in a change of control situation...Automatic call under change of control is not an option however, I would say it is normal that an acquisition does define how outstanding debt issues and/or preferred issues will be treated.... TD is an investment grade company and COWN is not.... If the debt is assumed, it's a positive event and will probably lead to a call at earliest allowable date 6/15/23. If it's not assumed and Cowon remains outstanding as a legal entity, then it's possible the issued could go dark because of Rule 15c2-11. That'd be a negative...

TD. This will be a nice tuck-in for TD Securities. COWN was buying back its own shares at $34.06 in Q1. Excellent growth rate compared to its peers in the US.
TD has my support here with this acquisition. Go TD Go.

Nicely done, Solly! This was a $2 stock 10 or 12 years ago, I recall.
