The record date for the purpose of ascertaining the eligibility of the shareholders to receive bonus equity shares shall be communicated by the Company. Further, the bonus shares, once allotted, shall rank pari - passu in all respects and carry the same rights as the existing equity shares and holders of the bonus shares shall be entitled to participate in full in any dividend and other corporate action, recommended and declared after the new equity shares are allotted.
The issue of bonus equity shares would, inter alia, require appropriate adjustments with respect to all the existing Employee Stock Option Scheme (s) of the Company pursuant to SEBI (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021 and any amendments thereto from time to time, such that the exercise price and all stock options which are available for grant and those already granted but not exercised as on Record Date shall be appropriately adjusted.
Presently, the Authorised Share Capital of the Company is Rs. 50,01,00,000/- (Rupees Fifty Crore One Lakh Only) divided into 5,00,10,000 (Five Crore Ten Thousand) Equity Shares of Rs. 10/- (Rupees Ten Only) each.
