Security Segment
➤Long-term Bond/Debenture:
When a company (or government) needs to borrow money from the public on a long-term basis,
it usually does so by issuing or selling debt securities generically known as bonds. All long-term
debt securities are promises made by the issuing firm to pay principal when due and to make
periodic interest payments.
Bonds or debentures are similar in all respect except bond is a secured debt whereas, debenture is
unsecured.
♦Bond/Debenture Indenture:
Contract between the company and the bondholders and includes:
► The basic terms of the bonds
► The total amount of bonds issued
► A description of property used as security, if any
► Sinking fund provisions
► Call provisions
► Details of protective covenants
➤Common Stock: Financial securities that represent the ultimate ownership position in a
corporation. The common stock holders are the ultimate owners of the company. They own the
company and assume the ultimate risk associated with the company. Their liability is restricted
to the amount of their investment. In the event of liquidation, common stockholders have the
residual claim on the assets of the company after all other claims have been paid. Common stock
has no maturity date; however, the stockholders can liquidate their shares in the secondary
market.
●Par or Face Value: Stated value of the common sharers. A common share can be with or
without par value. A common stock without par value is known as no-par-stock.
➤Dividends:
Payments made by the company to its stockholders in cash (or stock) either from current
year’s income or accumulated past income. Dividends are not a liability of the firm until
a dividend has been declared by the Board. Consequently, a firm cannot go bankrupt for
not declaring dividends. Dividend are not considered a business expense, therefore, they
are not tax deductible
Equity
– Ownership interest
– Common stockholders vote for the board of directors and other issues
– Dividends are not considered a cost of doing business and are not tax deductible
– Dividends are not a liability of the firm and stockholders have no legal recourse if
dividends are not paid
– An all equity firm can not go bankrupt
Preferred Stock: A type of financial security or asset that usually promises a fixed dividend but
at the discretion of the board of directors. Omission of preferred dividends will not result in a
default of the obligation. It has preference of claims over common stockholders. Generally, the
preferred stockholders do not get any voting right.
Preferred dividends may be of two types – cumulative and non-cumulative. In case of cumulative
preferred stock, if dividends are not given in a particular year, they will be carried forward as
arrear and will be paid in the future before common dividends are paid. In non-cumulative
preferred stock, if dividends are not given in any year they will not be paid in the future.
Participating Preferred Stock: This allows the holder to participate in additional dividends if
common stockholders receive increasing dividend.
Reasons for Using in Financing: About 70% of the dividends received by corporations are not
subject to tax. Unlike debt, it has no maturity date or legal obligation of payment of dividend. It
increases equity base of the firm.
