DEBENTURES - Definition
• A debenture is a certificate of loan or a loan bond evidencing the fact that the company is liable to pay a specified amount with interest.
• Issue of a certificate
• Under its seal - Acknowledgment of debt taken by the company.
• Although the money raised by the debentures becomes a part of the company's capital structure, it does not become share capital.
Issue of Debentures
• The procedure of issue of debentures is similar to that of the issue of shares.
• A Prospectus is issued >> applications are invited >> letters of allotment are issued.
• On rejection of applications, application money is refunded. In case of partial allotment, excess application money may be adjusted towards subsequent calls
Issue of Debentures• Issue of Debenture takes various forms which are as under :
1. For cash
2. For consideration other than cash
3. As collateral security.
• Further debentures may be issued at
1. Par
2. Premium
3. Discount
Non Convertible Debentures
These instruments retain the debt character and cannot be converted into equity shares.
Partly Convertible Debentures
A part of these instruments are converted into Equity shares in the future at notice of the issuer. The issuer decides the ratio for conversion. This is normally decided at the time of subscription
Fully convertible Debentures
These are fully convertible into Equity shares at the issuer's notice. The ratio of conversion is decided by the issuer. Upon conversion the investors enjoy the same status as ordinary shareholders of the company.
Types -
Secured DebenturesThese instruments are secured by a charge on the fixed assets of the issuer company. So if the issuer fails on payment of either the principal or interest amount, his assets can be sold to repay the liability to the investors.
Unsecured Debentures
These instrument are unsecured in the sense that if the issuer defaults on payment of the interest or principal amount, the investor has to be along with other unsecured creditors of the company.
Types - Security
Redeemable Debentures
Issued for a fixed period.
The principal amount is paid off to the debenture holders on the expiry of such period.
These can be redeemed by annual drawings or by purchasing from the open market.
Irredeemable Debentures
Not redeemed in the life time of the company.
Paid back only when the company goes into liquidation.
Types -
Redemption
Redemption of debentures can be accomplished either through
• Sinking fund – It is a cash set aside periodically for retiring debentures.
• Buy-back (call) provision – Buy-back provision enable the company to redeem debentures at a specific price before the maturity date.
FEATURES• Face value : For stocks, it is the original cost of the stock shown on the
certificate. For bonds, it is the amount paid to the holder at maturity.
• Coupon rate : The interest rate stated on a bond when it is issued. The coupon is typically paid semi annually.
• Maturity : The tenure of redeemable debentures.
• Tax Benefit: Most important element from the company point of view is that the interest paid is a tax deductible expense. Effectively, the company will get the tax benefit because the taxable income will be reduced by the extent of interest paid. Due to this the effective cost of borrowing gets reduced.
FEATURES
• Credit Rating: Normally, an investor would not go and check the credibility and the risk involved with the debentures. Credit rating agencies are given this task and they rate the debentures and the overall company. Involving a rating agency is compulsory for the issuing company normally in every country.
• Charge on Assets and Profits in case of Default: The debenture holders may have claims over the profits and assets of the company in case the company has defaulted in the payment of either the interest or the capital repayment.
Indenture
An Indenture or Debenture trust deed is a legal agreement between the company issuing debentures and the debenture trustee who represent the debenture holders.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BONDS AND DEBENTURES
Both bonds and debentures are instruments available to a company to raise money from the public.
DEBENTURES BONDS
Issued by Companies Generally issued by Government,
Corporations
Not secured by physical assets or collateral Secured
Higher Interest rate Low interest rate when compared to
Debentures
Types of Bonds / Debentures• Bond with maturity
The government and company mostly issued bond that specify the interest rate (coupon rate) with maturity period.
• Pure discount bonds or Zero Coupon bonds
This is a type of bond that makes no coupon payments but instead is issued at a considerable discount to par value
It do not carry an explicit rate of interest. It provides for the payment of a lump sum amount at a maturity date
For example, let's say a zero-coupon bond with a Rs. 1,000 par value and 10 years to maturity is trading at Rs. 600; you'd be paying $600 today for a bond that will be worth Rs. 1,000 in 10 years.
Valuation of Bonds / Debentures
Present value approach
i = contractual interest rate / Coupon rateC = F * i = coupon payment (periodic interest payment)N = number of paymentsi = market interest rate, or required yieldM = value at maturity, usually equals face value
PV of future interest payments PV of maturity value
