P. 5

Non-convertible debentures, which are simply regular debentures, cannot

               be converted into equity shares of the liable company. They are
               debentures without the convertibility feature, they usual y carry higher

               interest rates than their convertible counterparts.



               On basis of Security, debentures are classified into:


               Secured Debentures: These instruments are secured by a charge on the

               fixed assets of the issuer company. So if the issuer fails on payment of

               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 is treated like along other unsecured creditors of the company.



               From redemption point of view


               Redeemable Debentures:- Redeemable debentures are those which are

               redeemed or paid off after the termination of fixed term. The amount paid

               off includes the principal amount and the current year’s interest. The

               company always has the option of either to redeem a specific number of
               debentures each year or redeem al the debentures at specified date.



               Irredeemable or Perpetual DebenturesIrredeemable debentures are those

               :-


               debentures which do not have any fixed date of redemption. They are

               redeemed either in the event of winding up or at a very remote period of
               time. Irredeemable or perpetual debenture holders can never force the

               company to redeem their debentures.
