版上前辈大家好, 刚开始研究债券, 看了一点债券说明书 (PROSPECTUS)
但碍于理工科背景, 虽然多益还有800, 觉得这说明书看起来还是雾飒飒..
因此想跟大家请教
1) HSBC 永续债 2027/5/22可CALL，(ISINCODE: US404280BL25)
2) 利率：
目前是固定6%，2027/5/22之后是
the applicable per annum interest rate will be equal to
the sum of the applicable Mid-Market Swap Rate on the relevant Reset
Determination Date and 3.746%.
每5年调整一次
3) 我的问题： （说明书第一页的内容在本文后面）
a) 在2027年之后,
利率会变成 [3.746%] + [the applicable Mid-Market Swap Rate]
是吗?
b) 那什么是 the applicable Mid-Market Swap Rate ?
google告诉我, 这就是 "LIBOR"的意思~ 是吗?
https://www.lawinsider.com/dictionary/mid-market-swap-rate
但LIBOR也有可能是负的, 并且这变动利率没有设下限
所以到时候低于 3.746% 也是有可能的, 是吗?
c) 根据下文的第二段, 看起来似乎是, HSBC有权利cancel利息支付
但请问是, HSBC有权利完全不支付利息? 还是只能够延期支付呢?
HSBC可以在什么状况下不支付利息呢?

that applies immediately prior to such Reset Date, including the initial
interest rate of 6.000%. Moreover, interest will be due and payable on an
interest payment date only to the extent it is not cancelled or deemed to
have been cancelled in accordance with the terms of the Securities. We will
have sole and absolute discretion at all times and for any reason to cancel
(in whole or in part) any interest payment that would otherwise be payable on
any interest payment date. The terms of the Securities also provide for
circumstances under which we will be restricted from making an interest
payment (in whole or in part) on an interest payment date, and the interest
payable in respect of any such interest payment date will be deemed to have
been cancelled (in whole or in part).

。此外，只有在未根据证券条款取消或视为已取消的情况下，利息将在利息支付日到期并
支付。我们将在任何时候以任何理由全权或绝对酌情决定取消（全部或部分）任何利息支
付，否则将在任何利息支付日支付。证券的条款还规定了我们将被限制在利息支付日支付
利息（全部或部分）的情况，并且任何此类利息支付日的应付利息将被视为具有被取消（

and absolute discretion at all times and for any reason to cancel in whole
any interest payment.

有关证券的付款，因为我们无需在清盘活动前的任何时间支付证券的本金额，我们将始终
拥有唯一的绝对酌情权。并以任何理由取消任何利息支付。

或许他的翻译在前辈们眼中是破绽百出, 但已经比我强100倍了...
