Impact Assessment
Shareholder Impact: Existing shareholders will receive one additional share for every share held as on record date, effectively doubling their shareholding while maintaining proportional ownership. This improves liquidity and makes shares more affordable post-split.
Market Impact: The bonus issue will increase the total paid-up capital of the company. Post-bonus, the stock price is expected to adjust proportionally (approximately halve) on the listing date, making it more accessible to retail investors.
Trading Impact: Trading in the bonus shares will commence from December 23, 2025. Enhanced liquidity expected due to increased free float and lower price point post-adjustment.
Impact Justification
Bonus issue in 1:1 ratio affects existing shareholders positively by doubling share count while maintaining proportional ownership. Medium impact as it's a standard corporate action affecting liquidity and share price adjustment.
