Corporate bonds is one category of debt issued by a company and sold to investors. The investors are basically lenders to the company - bonds are contractual debt. With bonds, the company gets capital to buy additional assets and in return the bond holder is paid interest payments at either a fixed or variable interest rate. When the bond expires, or "reaches maturity," the payments cease, and the original investment is returned. For your company, review the 10-K report and analyze their bond issuances.
