Synopsis
The UITF consensus is:
- Where an instrument includes a call option that can only be exercised by the issuer the payment required on exercise of the option does not form part of the finance costs of the instrument;
- In the case of debt the gain or loss arising on any repurchase will reflect the amount payable on exercise;
- In the case of shares the amount payable on exercise will be used to reduce the amount of shareholders’ funds.
