Under what conditions may the directors of acompany prefer to issue ordinary shares rather than debentures?

ordinary shares are equity whereas debentures are debt - debt is always payable, whereas, equity holders do not always necessarily demand a dividend payment immediately. it would depend on what the company wanted to use the funds for. if the funds were used to fund a project where the returns were not expected for a few years, a company may wish to issue shares rather than debentures as the debentures would have to be paid regardless of when the returns came.

What are the characteristics of debentures?

Characteristics of a debenture:1. It is an instrument in writing. An oral promise in acknowledgement of a debt is not a debenture.2. It is an acknowledgement of the indebtedness of the company to its holder for the amount stated in it.3. It is usually under the seal of the company but it is not necessary. A certificate signed by two directors of a company and without bearing the company's seal is a valid debenture.4. It is one of a series of like debentures. But a single debenture may be issued to one man.5. It provides for the payment fixed sum with interest of a specified rate by a specified time. But this is not essential because a company may issue perpetual debentures. Section 120 of the companies' act 1956 expressly provides for the issue of perpetual or irredeemable debentures w3hich are made payable only in the event of a winding up or some serious default with the company.6. It is generally secured by a charge, fixed or floating on any part of the company's property or undertaking. But this is, however, not an essential condition because section 2(12) provides that the debentures may or may not constitute a charge on the assets of the company.FromRohit Mathur Jaipur
