Dictionary Says

Definition of 'Conditional Call Option'

Investopedia explains 'Conditional Call Option'

Call options help protect investors holding high-yield bonds from having their securities called early. If an issuer wants the security back then another high-yield bond has to replace the one the investor had to give up. While the terms of the new bond might not be exactly the same, the provision does mitigate some downside risk to the investor.
