Goodluck India shares rose 7% following the announcement of 2:1 bonus issue. How are dividend payments affected?
The company said Saturday that its board of directors approved the issuance of bonus shares at a 2:1 ratio. Under the offer, eligible shareholders will receive two bonus shares of face value Rs 2 for each share held on the record date, to be announced separately.
Bonus issuances consist of free shares distributed from reserves held by the company and are often seen as a sign of strong financial health and growth prospects. The issuance of bonus shares increases the total number of shares outstanding but does not change the company’s market capitalization. However, it improves liquidity and affordability, allowing more investors to add the company’s shares to their portfolios.
The record date for determining the eligibility of shareholders eligible for bonus shares of Goodluck India is yet to be determined. It is important to note that only shareholders who own shares of the company in their Demat account as on the record date are eligible to receive the bonus shares.
