Le Merite Exports approves 1:5 stock split, face value reduced to ₹2
Le Merite Exports Limited's Board approved a 1:5 stock split for equity shares, reducing face value from ₹10 to ₹2. This aims to boost liquidity and affordability for retail investors. Member approval via postal ballot is required. The split is expected to be completed within two months post-approval.
A stock split can increase trading volume and attract more retail investors, potentially leading to better price discovery and market interest, but it does not fundamentally change the company's value.
The stock split is expected to increase share liquidity and affordability, which is generally viewed positively by the market and investors.
Le Merite Exports Limited announced a significant corporate action following a Board of Directors meeting held on April 08, 2026. The board has approved the sub-division of equity shares, where each equity share with a face value of ₹10 will be split into five equity shares with a face value of ₹2 each.
This decision is subject to the approval of the company's members through a postal ballot and any necessary regulatory or statutory approvals. The primary rationale behind this stock split is to enhance the liquidity of the company's equity shares and make them more accessible to retail investors by increasing affordability.
The company also stated that the Record Date for this sub-division will be intimated in due course. A notice of Postal Ballot will be submitted to the stock exchanges for member approval. The board meeting commenced at 04:00 p.m. and concluded at 04:30 p.m. The expected completion of the stock split is within two months from the date of member approval.
Following the split, the authorized, issued, and subscribed share capital will see a change in the number of shares and face value. The authorized share capital will increase from 3,50,00,000 shares of ₹10 each to 17,50,00,000 shares of ₹2 each. Similarly, the issued and subscribed share capital will increase from 2,50,33,600 shares of ₹10 each to 12,51,68,000 shares of ₹2 each.
