Mature
(redirected from maturing)

Mature
To cease to exist; to expire.

Mature
The requirement that the issuer of a debt instrument must repay the principal in total. For example, a bond with a period of 10 years matures 10 years after its issue, at which time the principal must be returned. The time until a debt security matures indicates the period of time during which the lender or bondholder will receive interest payments. It is important to note that, despite the existence of a maturity date, many debt securities are callable, and the issuer may redeem them before the maturity date under some circumstances.
