Subject field(s)
  • Commercial Law
  • Loans
DEF

A priority right allowing its holder (the creditor) to demand payment from a debtor before any other creditor, when the debtor is in default of payment.

CONT

Because [public income notes] are unsubordinated(also called senior debt), they have precedence over other loans or securities in the event that the issuing company should default. This means that an investor holding [public income notes] faces less default risk than with subordinated debt... because holders of unsubordinated debt are at the front of the line to be repaid.
