Bonus Issue

Bonus Issue

Bonus Issue 其实是公司为了奖励投资者而发送的新股，也可以算是Stock Split。

也就是说在公司的市值与市价没有改变的情况下来增加公司的股票数量，因为公司想要把股价保持在比较低的价格和增加股数的流量。这样才能让更多人在比较低的价格买到他们公司的股份。

而且Bonus Issue是不需要投资者再进行任何入资，因此公司的资金并不会随之增加，只是纯粹让公司的股数增加的同时股价会下跌而已。 所以如果哪一天你发现到你持有的股票在一夜之间暴跌也不要太担心，可以去查看那间公司是否有Bonus Issue。

💡或是你的股票经纪人也会通知你有这个Bonus Issue哦。

举个例子： 该公司发行 Bonus Issue 1 : 1

这样每个拥有1个股的股东 将会获得另一个免费股，同时股票的价钱也会从之前的RM8+钱变成 RM4+

注意：如果公司发行的Bonus Issue不是 1:1，而是 2:3 / 3:2（不是整数）的话，要注意先计算好你会得到多少的股数，然后再进行购买以避免得到 Odd Lots （碎股）

总之，越便宜的股票就等于买入的门槛越低 ，这样才会吸引更多的投资者买入，因此也会增加股票的流动性。

但是也不是公司随随便便就可以做 Bonus Issue 的，首先Bonus Issue 必须要是公司有 Retained Earnings（就是长期累积有赚钱的）的，而且在 Bonus Issue 后股价不能低于 RM 0.50 如果当某某公司有发行Bonus Issue，而你想得到的时候，你可以在它的Ex-date之前买入，这样Ex-date过后你就会得到应有的股数了哦。（如图下）

注意：在Ex-date当天买入是不会得到这个Bonus Issue的哦！

Bonus Issue Overview

A bonus issue, also known as a scrip issue or a capitalization issue, is a corporate action where a company distributes additional shares to its existing shareholders at no additional cost, in proportion to their current holdings. This action increases the total number of outstanding shares without altering the company's equity capital. Bonus issues are typically implemented as a strategy to reward shareholders, increase liquidity, and reduce the market price per share, making the stock more affordable and attractive to investors.

Additional Details

• Shareholders receive additional shares without additional investment.

• Company's capital remains unchanged.

• Bonus Issue 1:1 gives shareholders one free share for each share held, halving the share price.

• Check for odd lots if bonus issue ratio is not 1:1 (2:3 / 3:2).

• Company must have retained earnings and post-issue share price above RM 0.50.

• Purchase before Ex-date to receive bonus shares.

• Buying on Ex-date doesn't qualify for bonus shares.
