As per exchange rules, shares must be bought at least one trading day prior to the ex-date to receive entitlement, and A-1 Ltd’s ex-bonus date falls on December 31.
The bonus issue will reward existing shareholders with three additional shares for every one share held. This means that if an investor owns 100 shares as of the record date, they will receive 300 bonus shares, taking the total to 400.
The face value of each bonus share will be Rs 10, and all allotted shares will carry equal rights and obligations. The company has fixed January 1, 2026 as the deemed date of allotment, with the shares expected to be listed on the exchange by January 2, 2026.
Alongside this bonus, A-1 Ltd is also gearing up for a stock split. This will see each equity share of face value Rs 10 being subdivided into ten shares of face value Rs 1 each.
To be eligible for the split, investors will have to hold the shares by January 8, which is the record date announced by the company for this purpose. This effectively increases the number of outstanding shares and enhances stock liquidity without altering the value of a shareholder’s investment.
As both these corporate events unfold back-to-back, investors holding A-1 Ltd shares stand to witness a significant increase in their number of shares, although the market price typically adjusts to reflect these changes. The opportunity to qualify for the bonus issue, however, ends today.
