Which feature of a bond contract allows the issuer to redeem a bond issue immediately in its entirety at an amount greater than par value prior to maturity?

CALL PROVISION

When issuers call a bond, it means that they redeem an outstanding bond before its maturity date. E.g. a bond matures in 10 years, but the issuer decides to redeem them (buy they back) in 2 years

Which term is used to describe a call provision in which the issuer is prevented from calling a portion or the entire issue for several years during the early years of the bond issue?

DEFERRED CALL PROVISION

Something that is deferred is something that has been postponed. So a deferred call provision is a call provision that is postponed for a certain amount of time. I.e. if the issuer wants and is able to call the bond, they must wait until a certain amount of years pass.
