Call Provision Definition
A call provision is a special provision that is stated on indenture of the bonds which gives the issuer of the bond to redeem the bonds before the maturity date. When the issuer calls the bond, they have to pay the call price to the bondholder. A call price is generally above the face value because that price includes a call premium charge for the redemption before maturity.
Call provision allows obtaining low debt securities in the market when the cost of debt in the market is lower than the coupon rate of the bonds. But, to the investors call provision adds risk because their investment may be refunded when the cost of debt is low.
