CFR /  Title 12  /  Part 541  /  Sec. 541.7 Corporate debt security.

The term corporate debt security means a marketable obligation, evidencing the indebtedness of any corporation in the form of a bond, note and/or debenture which is commonly regarded as a debt security and is not predominantly speculative in nature. A security is marketable if it may be sold with reasonable promptness at a price which corresponds reasonably to its fair value.
