PPL.PF.C was originally issued as KML.PR.A; the ticker changed in December, 2019. KML.PR.A was a FixedReset 5.25%+365M525 that commenced trading 2017-8-15 after being announced 2017-8-3. It has been tracked by HIMIPref™ but relegated to the Scraps – FixedReset Discount subindex on credit concerns. There was some, although not universal, expectation of redemption; PPL.PF.C was yielding significantly less than its peers at today’s closing quote of 24.05-20; however, the low yield may be more reflective of the Minimum Rate Guarantee than of redemption expectations.
