01 June 2010 There is no specific provision in the Companies Act for conversion of unsecured loans into equity/preference shares. The procedure for such conversion is that there should be a resolution from both the parties i.e. the investor and the issuing company wherein both consent for such conversion and determine the terms and conditions. The above would be sufficient. If the issuing company is a public limited company, then provisions of Sec 81(1A) would apply. The investor would have to satisfy 372A limits.
