NONREFUNDABLE BOND is a bond issue that cannot be redeemed for a stated period of time using the proceeds from a new, lower-cost issue to finance the refunding. The bond can still be called without a refunding, but the company must use internal capital or equity funds to retire the issue. This provides some protection to the bondholder if interest rates decline significantly.

BROKER-DEALER is any person or institution, other than a bank, engaged in the business of buying or selling securi­ties on its own behalf or for others.
