Call Protection Clause Samples
Call protection is a contractual provision that restricts the issuer of a callable security, such as a bond, from redeeming it before a specified date. Typically, this period lasts for several years after issuance, during which the issuer cannot exercise their right to call, or repurchase, the security from investors. By providing this protection, the clause ensures that investors receive a predictable stream of interest payments and are shielded from the risk of early redemption, which could occur if interest rates decline and the issuer seeks to refinance at a lower cost.
