How do Bonus Shares work?
Bonus shares are additional, fully paid shares that the firm issues to its existing shareholders. A listed company often offers free bonus shares on its existing equity shares to current shareholders. They are issued by a listed corporation as a result of free reserves, excess, and the addition of new capital. However, the investment value is unchanged after bonus issuance Bonus issues have no effect on a company's core competencies. Simply said, the price of a single share is changed to reflect the rise in the number of outstanding shares.
