What is Bonus Share Issue?

Bonus shares are additional shares granted at no additional cost to existing shareholders, based on the number of shares a shareholder owns. These are the accumulated earnings of the company which are not paid in the form of dividend, but are converted into free shares. Companies issue bonus shares to encourage retail participation and increase their equity base. When the price per share of a company is high, it becomes difficult for new investors to buy shares of that particular company. An increase in the number of shares reduces the price per share. But even if bonus shares are declared, the total capital remains the same.

The company will issue 1 new fully paid-up bonus equity share of Rs.4 for 1 existing equity share (1:1).

The company said the bonus issue is subject to the approval of the shareholders, which is being achieved through remote e-voting through postal ballot.
