After rising as much as 181 per cent in just on year to become a multibagger stock, the board of Maan Aluminium has approved the split of its equity shares and also declared a bonus issue to investors. The stock split will be in the proportion of 1:2 and the bonus issue of equity shares will be in the ratio of 1:1, according to a recent regulatory filing by the company to the stock exchanges.
“The board has recommended sub-division of 1 equity share of the company having face value of ₹10 each into 2 equity shares of the company having face value of ₹5 each,” said Maan Aluminium in its regulatory filing. The company added that the record date for proposed stock split will be announced in due course.
A stock split is done when a company increases the number of its outstanding shares to boost the stock’s liquidity. Although the number of shares outstanding increases, there is no change to the company’s total market capitalization as the price of each share will split as well. Upon the record date, the investors who are still holding the stock will receive new shares in their demat accounts and the price will be adjusted according to the split ratio declared the company.
The company’s board also approved the bonus issue of in the proportion of 1:1. ‘’The board has recommended issuing 1 bonus share for every 1 equity share held by the equity shareholders of the company,” said the regulatory filing. The bonus issue is subject to the approval of the company’s shareholders at its annual general meeting (AGM).
The company will inform in due course, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to receive bonus shares. A bonus issue of shares is the allocation of additional shares to stockholders. It helps in increasing the company’s share capital but not its market capitalisation.
When the bonus shares are issued, the shareholders do not have to pay any extra costs to get them and hence do not dilute their equity as they are issued in a constant ratio. They are funded by a company’s earnings or share reserves.
