Create Call, Put, and Refund Corporate Action Announcements

In the Create Calls/Puts/Refund panel, you can add a mandatory or voluntary announcement for a Call, Put, or Principal Repayment type corporate action.

To create a call, put, or principal repayment corporate action announcement manually:

1. In Reference Data Center, in the left navigation pane, click Reference Desk > Corporate Actions > Announcements > Create Calls/Puts/Refund.
   You see the Create Call/Puts/Refund panel.

2. Complete the options on the Create Call/Puts/Refund panel.

3. Click Submit.
   The system adds the corporate action to the Corporate Action table. It has a transaction type of CA_CASH_CLOSE and a Reason of CALL, PUT, or PRINCIPAL REPAYMENT. You can change a corporate action announcement if it does not have a Released status.

4. If you added a voluntary corporate action announcement, you can identify entities that elected to participate in the corporate action. 

5. If you added a mandatory corporate action announcement, you can set up a mandatory corporate action exclusion to prevent the system from processing a mandatory corporate action for a certain entity.
