In simple words, conversion of debentures into equity shares means to convert loan liability into capital liability. After converting debentures into equity shares, debenture-holder becomes shareholder. He will get right to vote. Without liquidation, their invested money will not be refunded.
1. When company issues debentures, company has to give the option of conversion debentures into equity shares.
2. Debenture-holders should notify his intention to convert in the written form to company before repayment of debentures in cash.
Sometime, company has no money in the pocket to pay the debt and interest on the debt. If company has issued optionally convertible debentures (OCD), then company can easily get the acceptance from debenture-holder for conversion their debt into shares without paying them cash for their loan and interest. We can give the example of Kingfisher company, it has converted 70 million OCDs into shares.
New equity shares can be issued to the debenture-holders at par, at discount or at premium when the conversion of debentures into equity shares process will be start. Liability of debentures which we are converting will not increase or decrease in case issue of shares at discount or at premium.
1. When Issue of equity shares at par.
