proportion to the existing holders. A 2 for 1
bonus would mean you get two additional
shares free of cost for the one shareyou hold in the company.If you hold 100
shares of a company and a 2:1 bonus offer is
declared, you get 200 shares free. Thatmeans your total holding of shares in that
company will now be 300 instead of 100 at
no cost to you.

shares.

Thats because:
i. The stock is now more liquid. Now that there
are so many more shares, it is easier to buy and
sell.
ii. A bonus issue is a signal that the company is
in a position to service its larger equity. What it
means is that the management would not havegiven these shares if it was not confident of
being able to increase its profits and distribute
dividends on all these shares in the future.
