Class B bond
From ACT Wiki
Securities - debt - capital markets.
Class B bonds are ones that are subordinated to senior bonds.
They are paid only after senior bonds have been paid.
For this reason, they carry relatively greater investment risk.
To compensate for this greater level of risk they also provide relatively greater yields for investors.
