Investopedia explains 'Consent Solicitation'
Should the majority of stakeholders provide valid consent prior to the consent expiry date, the issuer may then follow through with the proposed amendments.
This is commonly used to change various provisions within an indenture. Bondholders who have consented to the amendments may also receive a consent payment.
