Introduction
A trust unit redemption is when the par value is paid back to the purchaser of the units.
Par Value is the apparent worth or face value of the unit.
The total value and amount of units will be reduced.
Redemption vs Unit Buybacks
When a trust issues units and later decides to buy some of those units back, this is considered a unit buyback rather than a redemption.
When a trust specifies that it will redeem or buy back units when the units are issued, this is considered a Redemption. Generally, a date is specified as to when the units will be redeemed at the issuance of units.
The major difference between the two is that the units bought back in a redemption are considered a security that is expected to be bought back by the issuer.
This article will demonstrate how to process the transaction when units are redeemed from a unitholder. The forms for the redemption will also need to be prepared.
