What to Focus On

  • Debentures are loan capital.
  • Debentureholders are creditors, not owners.
  • Debentures are issued under the common seal of the company.

  • Registered debentures require transfer deed.
  • Bearer debentures are transferable by delivery.
  • Secured debentures carry charge on assets.

  • Shares have an issue-at-discount restriction; debentures do not.
  • Interest on debentures is based on face value.
  • Interest is a charge against profit.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Debentureholders are owners of the company like shareholders.

Debenture interest is calculated on the issue price, especially when debentures are issued at discount or premium.

Interest on debentures is payable only if the company earns profit, just like dividend on shares.
