It has a fixed interest rate for a given time. A company may issue both convertible and non-convertible debentures, among several other categories. It is possible to convert convertible debentures into corporate equity shares. Non-convertible bonds do not have such options, however, do have this choice upon maturity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Convertible_Debenture\"><\/span><b>What is Convertible Debenture?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A convertible debenture is a type of long-term financial instrument that a company\u00a0 issues and that, after a certain amount of time, may be converted into equity shares. They can be convertible either partially, completely, or maybe both ways. As it is not attached to any primary securities, they are considered <a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/essentials\/bond-market\/a-secured-and-an-unsecured-bond-differences\/\">unsecured bonds.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Companies typically issue these financial products to take advantage of tax perks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, if a company issues debentures, it may be able to claim a tax credit for the interest that would be paid to the holders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The investors (bondholders) can convert the <a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bonds<\/a> into shares whenever they&#8217;d like, depending on their financial needs, or else they can hold the bonds until they mature. As the company&#8217;s lenders, the holders of these debentures have the discretion to convert them into equity shares.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"post-title single-post-title entry-title\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_difference_between_Coupon_Rate_and_Yield_to_Maturity\"><\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/essentials\/bond-market\/what-is-the-difference-between-coupon-rate-and-yield-of-maturity\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_convertiblenon\">What is the difference between Coupon Rate and Yield to Maturity?<\/a><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_bond_to_be_converted\"><\/span><b>How can bond to be converted?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an example, suppose XYZ released a convertible bond with a face value of Rs. 10,000 and a 5% interest rate. The bond has a 5-year maturity and a conversion ratio of 5, meaning an investor can exchange one bond for 5 shares of common stock. The price of the bond divided by the conversion ratio determines the conversion price of the convertible<a href=\"https:\/\/goldenpi.com\/blog\/fixed-income\/corporate-bonds\/6-risk-factors-to-evaluate-in-corporate-bond-investments\/\"> bond.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The conversion price is determined by multiplying the bond&#8217;s par value, in this case, Rs. 10,000\/ 5, which equals Rs. 2000. The conversion price falls to Rs. 1000 if the conversion ratio is 10.Therefore, in order to convert the bond, the market price must surpass the conversion price. Lower conversion ratios result in higher conversion prices, whereas greater conversion ratios result in lower prices.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_Non_Convertible_Debenture\"><\/span><b>What is a Non Convertible Debenture?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Debentures that are not convertible into the issuing company&#8217;s stock are known as nonconvertible debentures. Investors are compensated with a greater interest rate than they would receive from convertible debentures to make up for the absence of convertibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two kinds of non- Convertible debentures<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1)<strong>\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><strong>Secured debentures <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0&#8211; The secured NCD is the safer option than unsecured NCD because it is backed by the company&#8217;s assets or any available collateral. Investors may be able to recover their money by selling the company&#8217;s assets if it doesn&#8217;t make the agreed payment on time. However, these NCDs have low-interest rates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2) <\/span><strong>Unsecured debentures<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; These are not backed by the company&#8217;s assets or any other form of security and are riskier than secured NCDs. Unsecured NCD holders are forced to wait until they are paid if the company is unable to repay the investors. The business has no assets to use to recoup its debts. In other words, the company only pays these investors once the holders of secured NCDs have been paid. Additionally, these NCDs have an interest rate that is greater than Secured NCDs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Difference_between_Convertible_and_Non-_convertible_debentures\"><\/span><strong>Difference between Convertible and Non- convertible debentures\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4376\" src=\"https:\/\/d2zny4996dl67j.cloudfront.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/02103537\/convertible-3-1024x526.png\" alt=\"Difference between Convertible and Non- convertible debentures\" width=\"714\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2zny4996dl67j.cloudfront.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/02103537\/convertible-3-1024x526.png 1024w, https:\/\/d2zny4996dl67j.cloudfront.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/02103537\/convertible-3-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/d2zny4996dl67j.cloudfront.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/02103537\/convertible-3-768x395.png 768w, https:\/\/d2zny4996dl67j.cloudfront.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/02103537\/convertible-3-585x301.png 585w, https:\/\/d2zny4996dl67j.cloudfront.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/02103537\/convertible-3.png 1060w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 714px) 100vw, 714px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_companies_Issue_Convertible_and_Non-convertible_Debentures\"><\/span><b>Why do companies Issue Convertible and Non-convertible Debentures?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A company might want to raise money through the sale of convertible bonds for two main reasons. The expense to the company is very persuasive. Compared to standard non-convertible debentures, convertible bonds often have cheaper interest payments; these interest cost savings can be substantial.
