Corporate Action Strategies

1. The Ex-Date Rule

You must hold the shares at the end of the trading day immediately before the Ex-Date to be entitled to the bonus shares. If you buy on the Ex-Date itself, you will not receive the bonus shares, but you will buy at the lower Ex-Bonus price.

Key Benefits

Manage Portfolio Expectations: Prevent panic on the Ex-Date when your stock price suddenly appears to have dropped 30%. Knowing the Theoretical Ex-Bonus Price allows you to assess if the stock is actually rising or falling on that day.

A bonus issue is an offer of free additional shares to existing shareholders. For example, a '1 for 2' bonus issue means you receive 1 free share for every 2 shares you currently hold.

Since the company is issuing new shares for free, the total value of the company (market capitalization) does not change, but it is now divided into a larger number of shares. This causes the price of each individual share to drop proportionally on the Ex-Date. This new price is called the Theoretical Ex-Bonus Price.

No. A bonus issue is a zero-sum game. The value of your total holdings before the ex-date is exactly the same as the value of your increased number of shares multiplied by the new, lower ex-bonus price. However, the lower price might improve the stock's liquidity and attract new retail investors.
