What this means is that you can essentially "cut" your RFA - you withdraw the tender and take a 20% penalty (the standard cut penalty). I'm not sure if that's ever been done, but I wanted to point out that it's an option if you need to clear cap space during the RFA period.

Pretty sure that has been done. That line is basically about making the tender's guaranteed.
