What is 'fronting' in the context of a letter of credit issued under a revolving credit facility?

  1. An opportunistic investor buys the issuer's senior secured bond moments before a ratings upgrade is announced.
  2. One bank issues the LC on behalf of the entire syndicate and fronts the payment to the beneficiary if the LC is drawn.
  3. The borrower prepays its full coupon interest obligation for the entire upcoming twelve-month period in advance.
  4. The lender compels the company to relocate all of its operating cash deposits and treasury management balances over to that bank.
