Generally unique to municipal securities, a refunding is the process by which an issuer refinances outstanding bonds by issuing new bonds. This may serve either to reduce the issuer's interest costs or to remove a restrictive covenant imposed by the terms of the bonds being refinanced.
By definition, the term ?refunding? means refinancing another debt obligation. It is not unheard of for municipalities to issue new bonds in order to raise funds to retire existing bonds. The bonds which are issued to refund older bonds are called refunding bonds or pre-refunding bonds.
Advance refunding involves issuing new bonds well before the old ones mature, holding the proceeds in escrow until the call date. This allows issuers to take advantage of favorable market conditions when they arise.
What Is a Pre-Refunding Bond? A pre-refunding bond is a debt security that is issued in order to fund a callable bond. With a pre-refunding bond, the issuer decides to exercise its right to buy its bonds back before the scheduled maturity date.
For example, an issuer that refunds a $100 million bond issue with a 10% coupon at maturity and replaces it with a new $100 million issue (refunding bond issue) with a 6% coupon, will have savings of $4 million in interest expense per annum.
