Compulsorily convertible debentures remain debt until conversion, notwithstanding mandatory conversion, absence of principal repayment, regulatory classification or accounting treatment. Their interest must therefore be benchmarked as debt for arm's-length pricing; treating pre-conversion CCDs as equity and fixing interest at nil is unsustainable.

As that procedure was not invoked, the transfer-pricing adjustment based on recharacterisation of unsecured CCDs as equity was deleted.
