Issue and Redemption of Debentures: Practical Problems and Solutions FAQs
Redemption of Debentures is the process by which the Debenture holders convert their investment into Equity Shares.
Redemption of Debentures is calculated by Debenture face value multiplied by a predetermined redemption rate. This calculation is based on formula fv = drr x d where fv= face value of Debenture drr= determined redemption rate d= number of days remaining till the redemption date from start day i.E. If the date of issue is 1-1-2017 and redemption date is 1-5-2020 then the number of days is 644 i.E., 365+(365/2)
The Debentures can be redeemed either by cash or by allotment of shares.
Redemption is important in Debentures because it ensures that companies do not keep on borrowing and roll over the debt. It also tells what the financial condition of a company is like (based on its ability to redeem loans) and, therefore, has an indirect relation with stock prices.
There are 2 types of redemption of Debentures; forced redemption and voluntary redemption.
