A priority right allowing its holder (the creditor) to demand payment from a debtor before any other creditor, when the debtor is in default of payment.

Because [public income notes] are unsubordinated(also called senior debt), they have precedence over other loans or securities in the event that the issuing company should default. This means that an investor holding [public income notes] faces less default risk than with subordinated debt... because holders of unsubordinated debt are at the front of the line to be repaid.

A debt issue is a cheaper method of financing for a corporation than preferred and dividend-paying common share issues, because under Canadian tax law, debt interest is paid out of corporate income before tax(i. e.-it is tax deductible) whereas preferred and common dividends are paid out of corporate income after tax(i. e.-not tax deductible).

Il en coûte moins cher à une société d'émettre des titres d'emprunt que des actions privilégiées et des actions ordinaires qui rapportent des dividendes, parce que, en vertu de la Loi de l'impôt sur le revenu canadienne, l'intérêt sur les titres d'emprunt est versé avant l'impôt sur le revenu de la société (c.-à-d. qu'il est déductible d'impôt) alors que les dividendes privilégiés et ordinaires sont versés après l'impôt (c.-à-d. qu'ils ne sont pas déductibles d'impôt).

Shares which meet the requirements of the exception are often referred to as financial difficulty shares or distress preferred shares. These shares allow the creditor to convert debt to shares and thus receive dividends which are deductible in computing taxable income as opposed to receiving fully taxable interest income. The creditor can then charge a lower dividend rate than the interest rate and achieve the same after-tax rate of return. Although the lower dividends are not deductible by the debtor, this is not usually of consequence given the financial difficulty and resulting loss situation.
