@the deal you need to improve your accounting knowledge.. Let me help!
I hear what you are saying but with bonus shares it is very very different from rights issues, preferred issues and bond conversions!
1.Bonus shares do not increase or decrease the capital of a company!
2. Every shareholder receives the bonus shares for free pro rata hence the % ownership of ALL shareholders remains the same!
(not dilutive)3. If i had 1,000 NIC shares bought at an average cost of 30bob, when they give a 1:10 bonus i will get an extra 100 shares & my average cost will now be (30k/
1,100 shares) which is 27.3bob...
If the EPS for NIC was 3bob and falls to 2.73bob because of new shares my P/E still remains at 10..
If DPS was 1bob and fell to 91cents because of the new shares i would still receive the same dividend...
(1000*1)=(1,100*0.91)=1kThe value of my shares also remains the same...
(1,000*30)=(1,100*27.3) = 30kThat is why a bonus issue is not dilutive provided the shareholder does not sell their bonus shares!
in the other share issues and debt conversions introduction of new investors and lack of funds by some shareholders are the main cause of dilution!
