Investor Expectations and Market Norms:
Perpetual Bond Practice: Issuers call perpetuals at the first call date (>80% historically) when reset coupons exceed market rates to avoid higher costs and maintain investor trust. Not calling could signal distress, raising future borrowing costs.
GLP’s Reputation: As a major logistics player, GLP has an incentive to uphold market confidence, especially after the 2024 bond sale failure. Calling the GLPSP supports future issuances, particularly green bonds.

GLP’s likelihood of calling the GLPSP 4.5% Perpetual Bond on May 17, 2026, is moderately high (60–70%), driven by the reset coupon (7.74–8.04%" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> exceeding the current 4.5%. However, the $300 million bond at 9.75%, a failed 10%+ sale, and a $1.8 billion 2024 loss reduce the probability from 70–80% due to high borrowing costs and financial challenges. GLP’s $23 billion asset base and debt repayment plans support refinancing capacity, but a call depends on securing debt at <7.74%. Investors should verify call terms via BondbloX or Cbonds and consult a financial advisor.
