The bond indenture is a legal document that defines the terms of the bond issue including the rights of bondholders; the bond certificate provides details about the bond being issued including the financial elements of the bond.
An indenture is a legal and binding contract usually associated with bond agreements, real estate, or bankruptcy. An indenture provides detailed information on terms, clauses, and covenants. There can be a few different types of indentures and many different types of indenture clauses.
A bond certificate is a legal document that is provided to an investor when an investor purchases a bond from another entity. A bond is a type of debt, and a bond certificate will state the terms of the debt agreement.
What is the primary purpose of a bond indenture? To specify the bond's features and identify the issuer's sources of repayment. To provide a detailed history of the issuer's past financial performance.
A covenant is a promise to take an action (an affirmative covenant) or to refrain from taking an action (a negative covenant). Indentures contain a variety of covenants from the issuer to the trustee on behalf of the bondholders.
A bond indenture is a legal contract issued to lenders that defines the commitments and responsibilities of the seller and buyer. Bond credit rating agencies assess and report the creditworthiness of a corporation's or government's debt issues.
The Indenture pledges certain revenues as security for repayment of the Bonds. The Trustee agrees to act on behalf of the holders of the Bonds and to represent their interests.
The terms of the Indenture are tailored to reflect the specific type of transaction and issuer. Like credit agreements,1 an Indenture contains lending and repayment terms. In contrast to credit agreements, however, the lender is not a party to an Indenture.
