Mold-Tek Packaging Limited has officially fixed October 9, 2026, as the record date for its previously approved 1:1 bonus share issue. Shareholders will receive one new fully paid-up equity share for every existing share held. The company will capitalize reserves for this distribution, with a deemed allotment date of October 12, 2026. This move increases the share count while keeping the company's intrinsic value unchanged. No action is required by investors, as shares will be credited automatically to eligible demat accounts.
Mold-Tek Packaging Sets October 9 Record Date for 1:1 Bonus Issue
Record Date: October 9, 2026 | Bonus Ratio: 1:1
Reader Takeaway: Investors receive one free share for every share held; watch for the exchange-mandated ex-date price adjustment.
What just happened
Mold-Tek Packaging Ltd has confirmed the formal timeline for its 1:1 bonus share issuance. The company has fixed October 9, 2026, as the record date to determine shareholder eligibility. Following the approval granted by members on September 21, 2026, eligible shareholders will receive one additional fully paid-up equity share with a face value of Rs 5 for each existing share held. The company plans to fund this issuance through the capitalization of its securities premium account and free reserves.
What changes now
The bonus shares are scheduled for a deemed allotment date of October 12, 2026. Once issued, these new shares will rank pari-passu with existing equity shares, meaning they carry the same rights and dividends as current holdings. From an investor perspective, the total share count will double, which will be accompanied by a proportional adjustment in the share price on the ex-date as determined by the stock exchanges.
Why this matters
A bonus issue is a non-cash corporate action. While it increases the liquidity of the stock, it does not alter the company's underlying fundamentals or market capitalization. Shareholders do not need to take any manual action; the bonus shares will be credited directly to their demat accounts after the allotment date. Investors are advised to track the specific ex-date provided by the BSE and NSE to account for the price adjustment in their portfolios.
