Besides them, Pradhin shares will turn ex-date tomorrow for the announcements of a Bonus issue and subdivision (Stock-split). The company has announced the issue of 2 Bonus Shares for every 1 equity share held by the equity shareholders of the company. Pradhin has also announced a subdivision of 1 equity share of a face value of Rs 10 each fully paid-up into 10 equity shares of a face value of Re 1 each fully paid-up.

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