The types of debentures mentioned above can be classified as follows;

(A) Redemption/Tenure

(i) REDEEMABLE DEBENTURES: These are debentures which are redeemable (i.e.repayable) at a specified future date.

(ii)IRREDEEMABLE DEBENTURES: This is also known as perpetual debentures. Irredeemable debentures do not carry any date of redemption.

(B) Convertibility

(i) CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES: Convertible debenture holders have an option of converting their holdings into equity shares.

(ii) NON-CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES: These are debentures with no such option of getting converted into shares/ equity.

(C) Security

(i) SECURED OR MORTGAGE DEBENTURES: A secured debenture is secured by the charge on some asset or set of assets of the company.

(ii) UNSECURED DEBENTURES: It is also known as simple or naked debenture. These are debentures which carry no charge on the assets of the company.

(D) Transferability/Registration

(i) REGISTERED DEBENTURES: These are debentures that are registered with the company. In the case of registered debentures, the name, address, and other holding details are registered with the issuing company and whenever such debenture is transferred by the holder; it has to be informed to the issuing company for updating in its records.

(ii)UNREGISTERED/BEARER DEBENTURES: This type of debenture can be transferred by mere delivery to the new holder. They are not recorded in the register of the company.

 

ISSUE PRICE

Debenture may be issued at par, at premium or at a discount.

i. Debentures issued at par: in this type of issue, the debentures are issued at the nominal value. For example, N100 debentures are issued at N100.

ii. Debentures issued at a premium: debentures are issued at premium when the issue price is above the nominal price. The premium is the excess of the issue price over the nominal value. For example, debentures of N 100 are issued at N 120. Premium = N 120 – N 100 = N 20.

iii. Debentures issued at a discount: this means that the debentures are issued at a price below the nominal value. For example, debentures of N 100 are issued at N 90. Discount = N 100 – N 90 = N 10.
