Definition

A bonus issue gives additional shares to existing holders from reserves (as per the notice). Share count rises. It is not free cash like a dividend.

Purpose & when you need it

Purpose

Bonus actions reallocate equity on the books and change share count - literacy for reading the notice, not a “gift” slogan.

When you need it

Read the Filings title and PDF when linked. Do not invent ratios from screenshots.

Where it appears & why people look

Where

Filings / Declared actions when a bonus title was parsed.

Why people look

Tip groups often shout “bonus = rocket.” You need the ratio, record date ideas, and the company’s books.

Formula (simple)

Example study form: a 10% bonus means roughly 1 extra share per 10 held (check the exact ratio in the announcement). Price often adjusts around the action - still not a tip.

Traps (tip culture)

Bonus is not free money. Adjusted price can look “cheaper” while value is similar. Always read the official notice.

FAQ

Does bonus mean I made a profit?

Not by itself. You hold more shares. Price often adjusts. Study the notice and books.

Is bonus the same as dividend?

No. Cash dividend pays cash. Bonus issues shares from reserves.

Where do I confirm the ratio?

On Filings on this desk when we have the announcement - optional exchange confirm only if you need the original PDF.
