A bonus issue is a corporate activity wherein a business gives its present shareholders extra shares based on their current shareholdings at no additional cost. The amount of bonus shares that a shareholder receives depends on how many shares they currently possess.
Usually, the goal of the bonus issue is to capitalise on the company’s reserves or earnings by issuing bonus shares. Through the conversion of accumulated reserves or retained earnings into extra shares, the company’s share capital increases without compromising its overall financial situation or cash reserves.
Bonus shares are awarded to the company’s shareholders without requiring them to make any further payments. As a dividend, the bonus shares are distributed as shares rather than cash.
