Gross Revenue Pledge Gross Revenue PledgeA provision in the indentures of some municipal bonds stating that the first priority of the revenue from the bond shall service debt or be set aside to pay the coupons to bondholders. The project a bond intends to finance is relegated to second place, and may be funded from other sources in addition to the bond. This places a difficulty on the issuer, but reduces the risk of default to bondholders. It also allows the bond to be issued at a lower interest rate, which is good for the issuer. |
