Besides them, Captain Technocast will also gain the spotlight as it has announced the issue of 1 bonus share for every 1 equity share held by the shareholders of the company. The company had set April 21, 2025, as the record date for the said corporate action; however, it has withdrawn the date and has not fixed a new record date yet.

 

Further, Ami Organics has announced the split/subdivision of existing equity shares of the company, such that 1 equity share having a face value of ₹10, fully paid-up, will be sub-divided into 2 equity shares having a face value of ₹5 each, fully paid-up, ranking pari-passu in all respects. The company has fixed April 25, 2025, as the record date for the same.

 

The ex-date is when a stock begins trading without the entitlement to dividends, bonus shares, or subdivisions (stock splits). This means that on or after this date, the dividends, bonus shares, or subdivisions are not available to a new buyer of the stock. To qualify for these corporate actions, investors must own the stock before the ex-date. The company determines the beneficiaries of dividends, bonus shares, or subdivisions based on the list of investors recorded by the end of the record date.
