If accepted by the board, the aforementioned proposal(s) will next need to be approved by the shareholders, the financial services business stated.
By distributing extra shares to the existing owners, a stock split increases the number of shares that are outstanding.
Although a stock split lowers the share price on an individual basis, it has no impact on the company’s market capitalization.
If a company’s stock price levels are very high, it may decide to split its shares, which would boost the stock’s liquidity and make it more accessible to investors.
Bonus shares, on the other hand, are extra, fully paid shares that a firm issues to its current owners.
