Register of debenture holders to be maintained by non‑companies
601CZB Register of debenture holders to be maintained by non‑companies
A body that is not a company must set up and maintain a register of debenture holders if it issues debentures covered by Chapter 2L.
Companies have to keep a register of debenture holders under sections 168 and 171.
The register may be kept on computer (see section 1306).
An offence based on subsection (1) is an offence of strict liability.
For strict liability, see section 6.1 of the Criminal Code.
The register must contain the following information about each debenture holder:
their name and address;
the amount of the debentures held.
A body’s failure to comply with this section in relation to a debenture does not affect the debenture itself.
