      Solution

      Convertible debentures are hybrid financial instruments (long-term debt with equity features) issued by companies to raise capital, giving the holder the option to convert them into the company's equity shares after a set period.  These instruments act as both a lender and potential part-owner, offering fixed interest plus potential stock appreciation while lowering risk than pure debt.
