Definition Of Provision:


A legal clause or condition contained within a contract that requires or prevents either one or both parties toperform a particular requirement by some specified time.
Specified requirements can include, but are not limited to, sunset, soft call, anti-dilution, and anti-greenmail provisions.Provisions were created to protect the interests of one or both parties named in a contract or legal document.For example, the anti-greenmail provision contained within some companies' charters protects shareholders from the board wanting to pass stock buybacks. Although stock buybacks can be a good thing for shareholders, some buybacksallow board members to sell their stock to the company at inflated premiums.
