Definition of 'Make Whole Call (Provision)'

Investopedia explains 'Make Whole Call (Provision)'

A make whole call will be defined in the indenture. The issuer doesn't expect to have to use this type of provision, but if the issuer does, investors will be compensated, or "made whole." Because the cost can often be significant, such provisions are rarely invoked.
