公司债券(bond certificate)是指股份公司在一定时期内 (如10年或20年) 为追加资本而发行的借款凭证。对于持有人来说,它只是向公司提供贷款的证书,所反映的只是一种普通的债权债务关系。持有人虽无权参与股份公司的管理活动,但每年可根据票面的规定向公司收取固定的利息,且收息顺序要先于股东分红,股份公司破产清理时亦可优先收回本金。公司债券期限较长,一般在10年以上,债券一旦到期,股份公司必须偿还本金,赎回债券。
公司发行债券的条件:
1.股份有限公司的净资产不低于人民币三千万元,有限责任公司的净资产不低于人民币六千万元;
2.累计债券余额不超过公司净资产的百分之四十;
3.最近三年平均可分配利润足以支付公司债券一年的利息;
