Tax Status of Bond OMP

If a company completes an Open Market Purchase of its own bonds, the interest payments go directly back to the company, but what happens to the tax status of the interest expense? Does the company lose the right to claim tax deductibility on the pro rata share of interest expense or is this an arbitrage opportunity?
