Learning: Knowledge
A Bonus Share Issuance, also known as a bonus issue or scrip issue, is when a company will issue additional shares to shareholders at no added cost. A company may issue these bonus shares when they don’t have enough cash and they need to maintain payouts to shareholders. The bonus shares will be issued according to the proportional stake the existing shareholder holds in the company.
