1. Sub-Division/Split of Equity Shares
The Board approved the sub-division/split of each existing equity share with a face value of ₹10 into 2 equity shares with a face value of ₹5 each. The new shares will be fully paid-up and rank pari passu in all respects with existing shares. This requires consequential alteration of the Capital Clause of the Memorandum of Association and is subject to approval by members and other applicable authorities.
Rationale: The split aims to make equity shares more affordable, enhance liquidity in the capital market, widen the shareholder base, and encourage participation by retail and individual investors.
Capital Structure Impact:
- Authorized Share Capital: Remains unchanged at ₹25,00,00,000
- Pre-split: 2,50,00,000 shares of ₹10 each
- Post-split: 5,00,00,000 shares of ₹5 each
- Issued, Subscribed and Paid-up Share Capital: Remains unchanged at ₹1,50,00,000
- Pre-split: 15,00,000 shares of ₹10 each
