What Are Bonus Shares and Why Do They Matter?
Understanding Bonus Shares
Bonus shares are additional shares given to existing shareholders free of charge, based on the number of shares they own. Bonus shares are given out by firms from their free reserves or surplus and serve to reward shareholders as well as maintain the firm’s liquidity level.
Assuming that a company awards a 1:1 bonus, it implies that for each share that the shareholder already holds, he or she will receive an extra share.
Why Vimta’s Bonus Share Decision Matters
A bonus issue is generally viewed as a reflection of a company’s good fundamentals. For Vimta Labs, the step has several purposes:
✅Shoring up investor confidence
✅Adding liquidity to the market
✅Inviting new investors on board
✅Rewarding long-term shareholders
Having built its reputation over decades, Vimta Labs has consistently been driven by shareholder value creation. The upcoming Board decision is a reflection of that commitment.
