Bonus shares are additional shares given to existing shareholders by a company without any extra cost, based on the number of shares they already own. These shares are issued from the company’s retained earnings or free reserves and serve as a reward to shareholders while increasing the company’s equity base.
For example, a company announces a 1:2 bonus issue. This means that for every two shares a shareholder owns, they will receive one additional share for free. If an investor holds 200 shares of the company before the bonus issue, they will receive 100 extra shares. After the bonus issue, their total holding will increase to 300 shares.
