Mike, I just checked in one of my textbooks. I believe I was correct. It states that a debenture is a corporate bond that is not secured by specific property. If the issuer is liquidated, the debenture holder becomes a general creditor. The higher risk usually requires higher interest rates than those on secured debt. My take is that the non-payment of debenture interest does not result in default, whereas non-payment on a secured bond is game over.
Regards, Ed
