- Share Split:
- Definition: Company increases number of shares by dividing existing shares, reducing the price per share.
- Example: A 2-for-1 split doubles shares but halves the price, keeping total investment value constant.
- Purpose: Makes shares more affordable and increases liquidity.
- Face value of shares changes after split (e.g., from Rs. 10 to Rs. 5).
- Bonus Shares:
- Definition: Free additional shares given to shareholders from company reserves.
- Example: 100% bonus means shareholders get one extra share for each share held.
- Difference from split:
- Bonus shares come from company reserves; face value remains unchanged.
- Share price adjusts based on increased shares but face value per share stays the same.
- Dividend implications differ because face value is unchanged.
- Right Shares:
- Definition: Additional shares offered by the company to existing shareholders to raise capital.
- Offered at a premium price (above face value).
- Shareholders have the "right" but not the obligation to buy these shares before the public.
- Example: Company issues 5 lakh new shares at Rs. 70 (Rs. 10 face value + Rs. 60 premium).
- Rights issue is a method for companies to raise funds while giving priority to existing shareholders.
