- bonus issue [EN] - you will see a bonus issue described as a free issue, a capitalisation issue and a stock dividend. These are new share issued by a company to its existing shareholders, usually in a mathematical proportion to the number of shares already held. What the company is doing is turning part of its reserves it will have accumulated into issued capital. The shareholders do not pay for the new shares and appear to be no better off. However, in a 1 for 3 bonus issue for example, the shareholders receive one new share for every three existing shares they own. Hence, a shareholder owing 99 shares will receive 33 bonus shares in return. This will reduce the price of the shares by 25% (assuming a price of Lm1 per share, the amount of the new shares, 33, divided by the total amount of shares owned, 132), catering to the preference of shareholders to hold lower-priced shares whilst encouraging them to hope that the price will gradually climb to its former value, which will of course make them 25% better off (IW)
