Additional documented facts

A corporate bond is company debt: its holder has a contractual claim to interest and repayment of principal, rather than stock ownership. Issuing debt lets a company finance its operations or investments with borrowed money and creates repayment obligations. Buying an already-issued bond in the secondary market normally pays the selling investor, not the issuer. Bond ownership alone does not confer management control; creditor protections depend on the issue terms. Company creditworthiness affects the likelihood of repayment and the bond’s market price; market interest rates also affect that price. A disclosed purchase-value band is not the bond’s face amount, so it cannot establish Trump’s annual interest receipts.
