For bonds with interest rate trigger:
The Danish Mortgage-Credit Loans and Mortgage-Credit Bonds etc. Act imposes restrictions concerning the yield-to-maturity of the bonds. The yield-to-maturity may not rise more than 5 percentage points and this restriction represents a condition for the final completion of the sale/allotment of bonds.
