Sections 332.12 and 332.15 of Department
Circular No. 905, Second Revision, dated
September 23, 1959 (31 CFR, 1960 Supp., 332),
are hereby amended to read as follows:
Sec. 332.12. Improvement of investment yield
and extension o f term fo r outstanding Series H
bonds— (a) Increased future investment yields to
maturity fo r all outstanding bonds with issue
dates o f June 1, 1952 through M ay 1, 1959} —
The investment yields on all outstanding Series
H bonds with issue dates prior to June 1, 1959,
are hereby increased (for the remaining period
to maturity) by not less than one-half of one
percent, and by lesser amounts if they are
redeemed earlier.1
2 The resulting yields are in
terms of rate percent per annum, compounded
semiannually. See Tables 2 through 16 at the
end of this circular for revised schedules of
interest checks and investment yields. This
increase will be effective beginning with the
interest checks due December 1, 1959 for bonds
with the issue month of June or December of
any year prior to 1959, and for all other bonds
on the next interest payment date after Decem­
ber 1, 1959.
(b) Optional extension privilege fo r owners of
bonds with issue dates of June 1, 1952 through,
January 1, 1957.— Owners of bonds with the
above issue dates are hereby granted the privi­
lege of retaining their bonds for an additional
period of 10 years with, an investment yield of
approximately 3.75 percent payable semi­
annually. This privilege is generally referred
to elsewhere in these regulations and the regu­
lations governing United States Savings Bonds
as an “ optional extension privilege.” No
special action is required of owners desiring to
take advantage of this optional extension privi­
lege. Merely by holding their bonds after
maturity they will earn further interest which
will accrue and be paid semiannually by check
drawn to the order of the owner or coowners
beginning six months from the original maturity
date. Interest payments will be made in the
amounts shown in Tables 2 -A through 1I-A
at the end of this circular. Term “ owners” as
used in this section includes registered owners,
coowners, surviving beneficiaries, next of kin,

and legatees of deceased owners, and persons
who have acquired bonds pursuant to judicial
proceedings against the owners, except that
judgment creditors, trustees in bankruptcy, and
receivers of insolvents’ estates will have the
right only to payment in accordance with the
regulations governing United States Savings
Bonds.
Sec. 332.15. Payment or redemption.— (a)
Prior to maturity.— Prior to maturity a bond of
Series H will be redeemed at par, in whole or
in part (in the amount of an authorized denomi­
nation or multiple thereof), at the option of the
owner, after six months from the issue date on
the first day of a calendar month and upon one
month’s notice in writing, by (1) a Federal
Reserve Bank or Branch, (2) the Bureau of the
Public Debt, Division of Loans and Currency
Branch, 536 South Clark Street, Chicago 5,
Illinois, or (3) the Treasurer of the United
States, Washington 25, D .C. Such notice may
be given separately or by presenting and sur­
rendering the bond with a duly executed request
for payment. If notice is given separately, the
bond must be presented with a duly executed
request for payment to the same agency not
less than twenty days before the redemption
date fixed b y the notice.
(b) A t maturity.— Upon maturity a bond of
Series H will be redeemed at par upon presenta­
tion of the bond with a duly executed request
for payment to one of the agencies designated
in (a). In the case of any Series H bond for
which an optional extension privilege has been
provided, such bond will be redeemed at par
upon original maturity and for two calendar
months following the month in which the bond
originally matures without advance notice.3*
(c) During optional extension period.— Any
bond of Series H for which an optional extension
period has been provided will, beginning with
the first day of the third calendar month follow­
ing the calendar month in which the bond
originally matures, be regarded as unmatured
until it reaches its final maturity date, and
may be redeemed in the same manner and
subject to the same notice for redemption as
provided in (a).
