ENBA Being Recalled - What am I missing here?

[stripermannh]

I feel like I'm missing something in my analyses and could use other's opinions. I feel like "it's too good to be true therefore something is wrong".

I own ENBA which I purchased at less than $25/sh . The current price is $25.39sh.

March 10, 2023 -- Enbridge Inc. (Enbridge or the Company) (TSX: ENB) today announced that it will redeem all of its outstanding 6.375% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes Series 2018-B due 2078 (CUSIP: 29250N 477) (the "Notes") on April 15, 2023.It has been formally announced that ENBA will be recalled on 4/15/2023 at $25.

If it wasn't for the recall I would hold on to this investment for the quarterly interest payments.

It seems like a "no brainer" (too good to be true) to sell now before it's recalled at $25/sh, collect the additional $0.39/sh, and still be able to collect the quarterly interest distribution. (therefore something is wrong)

What am I missing?

I am thinking that you probably cannot sell it at this point. Called securities generally stop trading a few days after the announcement. I could be wrong, though, if you say the price is $25.3x? If you can sell it, do it…..but it’s likely too late to sell it and now you will have to wait for the redemption date; you will get your money (plus any accrued interest) within a day or two after redemption date.

Just as a follow up. I sold my position in ENBA a couple of days after the ex-dividend date for a nice gain. However I have NOT received any interest payment to date. FWIW the gain received selling above PAR exceeded the interest I would (should?) have received.

BAC is redeeming $ billions of its variable rate stuff because fast-rising Libor is making it much more expensive for them.
