What does NONPAR mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technical
Not participating in a scheme of profit-sharing, or, of a stock, having no fixed face value.
A nonpar insurance policy pays no share of the insurer's profits to the policyholder, unlike a participating policy that returns part of its surplus as a dividend. The same word describes a nonpar share of stock, one issued without a stated face value, so its price depends entirely on the market rather than a printed figure. Because both senses turn on the idea of standing outside the usual arrangement, nonpar is mostly confined to insurance and finance documents rather than everyday speech.
