What is a Retired Bond?

A retired bond refers to a previously issued bond that has been repurchased by the issuer, either at its scheduled maturity or earlier if it is callable. This repurchase allows the corporation to return the principal amount to investors, fulfilling its debt obligations and effectively removing the bond from circulation in the market.
