eClerx Services Approves 1:1 Bonus Share Issue
eClerx Services Limited's Board approved a 1:1 bonus share issue, granting one new share for every existing share. This will result in 4,70,25,359 new equity shares of ₹10 each. The bonus issue, funded by retained earnings, is subject to shareholder approval and is expected to be completed by March 27, 2026.
A bonus issue increases the number of outstanding shares, which can lead to increased liquidity and potentially a lower per-share price, making it more accessible to retail investors. While it doesn't directly impact the company's valuation, it's a signal of financial strength.
The approval of a bonus share issue is generally viewed positively by investors as it indicates the company's strong financial health and its commitment to returning value to shareholders.
The Board of Directors of eClerx Services Limited, in a meeting held on January 28, 2026, approved the issuance of bonus equity shares in the proportion of 1:1. This means one new fully paid-up equity share of ₹10 each will be issued for every existing equity share of ₹10 each held by the members as of the record date.
The bonus issue is subject to shareholders' approval through a postal ballot. The company plans to issue 4,70,25,359 equity shares, amounting to ₹470,253,590 (470.25 Crore), which will be capitalized from the company's retained earnings (free reserves) as of March 31, 2025. The total free reserves available as of March 31, 2025, were ₹13,777,220,000 (1377.72 Crore).
Post the bonus issue, the company's issued and paid-up equity share capital will increase to ₹940,507,180 (940.51 Crore) from the current ₹470,253,590 (470.25 Crore). The bonus shares, once allotted, will rank pari-passu with the existing equity shares and will not be considered as income or distribution in lieu of dividend. The company expects to credit or dispatch the bonus shares within 60 days from the Board's approval, by March 27, 2026.
