If a bond is called, put or exchanged before maturity, the bondholder only earns interest on the time that has elapsed between purchasing the bond and its early redemption. The resulting yield is less than what would have been earned had the bond been held until maturity.

Affiliates of Zions Bank or other issuers may purchase CDs or securities through the auction process. The market clearing yield may be lower due to the participation of an affiliate in the auction which may benefit the affiliated issuer.
