Choice International approves 1:1 bonus share issue
In short
Choice International has approved a 1:1 bonus share issue. Shareholders will get one bonus share for every share they hold, but the record date will be announced later. It is the company’s first such action in two years.
This may make the stock easier to buy and trade, even though the company’s total market value does not change. The record date and timing are not stated yet.
What the reporting says
Choice International approved a 1:1 bonus issue, giving shareholders one bonus share for every share held on the record date, which will be announced later. The company’s first such corporate action in two years would double outstanding shares without changing market capitalisation, according to the report. The immediate effect on trading is potentially better liquidity and lower per-share affordability, but the record date is still unknown.
