Issuance of CCD

Issuance of CCD

Compulsorily Convertible Debentures (CCD) are a popular instrument for raising funds without immediate dilution. They function like debt initially but convert into equity after a fixed period or event. CCDs are widely used in startup funding, private investments, and structured capital raising. But issuing CCDs requires valuation, proper agreements, approvals, charge creation (if secured), and strict MCA and FEMA compliance.

We handle the entire CCD issuance process so your fundraising remains structured, compliant, and investor-friendly.

What we do

• Structure CCD terms including conversion ratio, interest, and timelines

• Coordinate valuation from a registered valuer

• Draft the Share Subscription Agreement (SSA) and Debenture Agreement

• Prepare board and shareholder resolutions

• File MGT-14 and PAS-3 with MCA

• Manage FEMA filings (FC-GPR) for foreign investors

• Update the Register of Debenture Holders and cap table

• Support during audits, investor queries, and due diligence

Why this matters

CCDs involve long-term commitments. Any mistake in pricing, conversion terms, or filings can affect investor rights and trigger MCA or RBI penalties. Clean documentation keeps your capital structure strong and future funding rounds smooth.
