Rakesh Jhunjhunwala Portfolio Stock: The board of Nazara Technologies has fixed June 27, 2022, as the record date for the proposed bonus issue of shares. With its Q4 results, the company’s board approved a bonus of one share against each share held by the shareholders.
“It is hereby informed that the Board of Directors of the Company has fixed Monday, June 27, 2022, as the Record Date, for the purpose of ascertaining the eligibility of shareholders for issuance of Bonus Equity Shares of the Company in the proportion of one new fully paid-up equity shares of Rs 4/- each for every One fully paid up an existing equity share of Rs 4/- each held,” Nazara Tech informed in an exchange filing this week.
What is a Bonus Share Issue?
Bonus shares are additional shares given to the current shareholders without any additional cost, based upon the number of shares that a shareholder owns. These are the company’s accumulated earnings which are not given out in the form of dividends, 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 the overall capital remains the same even if bonus shares are declared.
The company will issue 1 new fully paid-up bonus equity share of Rs 4 each for 1 existing equity share (1:1).
The bonus issue is subject to the approval of shareholders which is being obtained by way of the postal ballot through remote e-voting, the company said.
