Call Provision

Home » CMA Glossary Term » Corporate Finance » Call Provision

A call provision of a bond is a clause in a bond contract that allows the issuer to redeem the bond before its maturity date, typically at a specified call price. This provision benefits issuers by enabling them to refinance debt at lower interest rates if market conditions improve. However, it poses a reinvestment risk to bondholders, as they may have to reinvest at lower rates.
