Debentures are loans which have to pay interest.But the creditors will not have ownership of the company. Only when the debentures cannot be paid, the company will go bankrupt by court order. The creditors will have rights to control and refurnish the company.

When companies issue equity they are selling ownership interests in the company, which dilutes the current owners' ownership.
Debt, on the other hand, is simply a liability - the lenders have no ownership interest.
