Unsecured debentures, also known as "debentures without security" or "unsecured bonds," do not have any specific charge or claim on the assets of the company. Unlike secured debentures, which are backed by a charge on specific assets, unsecured debentures lack this collateral. Therefore, unsecured debenture holders do not have a direct claim on the company's assets in case of default. |
