A debenture share entitles its holder to receive a fixed interest on sums invested. A debenture is a type of bond issued by a company that represents a long-term loan to the company. The holder of a debenture receives a fixed interest payment at a predetermined rate and for a specific time period, regardless of the company's financial performance. Unlike a stock, a debenture does not represent ownership in the company, so the holder does not have voting rights or the ability to participate in the annual general meeting of the company.
