UNIT OVERVIEW

BONUS Bonus issue means an issue of additional shares to existing


SHARES shareholders free of cost in proportion to their existing holding.
A company may issue fully paid-up bonus shares to its
shareholders out of—
(i) its free reserves;
(ii) securities premium account; or
(iii) capital redemption reserve account:
Bonus shares should not be issued out of revaluation reserves
(i.e., reserves created by the revaluation of assets).

RIGHT Rights issue is an issue of rights to a company's existing


ISSUE shareholders that entitles them to buy additional shares directly
from the company in proportion to their existing holdings,
within a fixed time period. In a rights offering, the subscription
price at which each share may be purchased is generally at a
discount to the current market price. Rights are often
transferable, allowing the holder to sell them in the open
market. The difference between the cum-right and ex-right value
of the share is the value of the right.

4.1 ISSUE OF BONUS SHARES


4.1.1Introduction
A bonus share may be defined as issue of shares at no cost to current shareholders
in a company, based upon the number of shares that the shareholder already owns.
In other words, no new funds are raised with a bonus issue. While the issue of
bonus shares increases the total number of shares issued and owned, it does not
increase the net worth of the company. Although the total number of issued shares
increases, the ratio of number of shares held by each shareholder remains
constant.
Bonus issue is also known as ‘capitalisation of profits’. Capitalisation of profits refers
to the process of converting profits or reserves into paid up capital. A company may
capitalise its profits or reserves which otherwise are available for distribution as
dividends among the members by issuing fully paid bonus shares to the
members.

If the subscribed and paid-up capital exceeds the authorised share capital as a
result of bonus issue, a resolution shall be passed by the company at its general
body meeting for increasing the authorised capital. A return of bonus issue along
with a copy of resolution authorising the issue of bonus shares is also required to
be filed with the Registrar of Companies.

Example 1
Alpha Company announced bonus issue to its shareholders in the ratio of 2:3 ie.
2 shares for every 3 shares held. Shareholder X has 6,000 shares before
announcement of bonus issue. How much shares would he have after bonus issue?
Solution

Shareholder X will be entitled to have 4,000 bonus shares (6,000

shares / 3 x 2) Total number of shares X has after bonus issue 10,000

(6,000 + 4,000)
4.1.2 Provisions of the Companies Act, 2013
Section 63 of the Companies Act, 2013 deals with the issue of bonus shares.
According to Sub-section (1) of Section 63, a company may issue fully paid-up
bonus shares to its members, in any manner whatsoever, out of—
(i) its free reserves;
(ii) the securities premium account; or
(iii) the capital redemption reserve account:
Provided that no issue of bonus shares shall be made by capitalising reserves
created by the revaluation of assets.
Sub-section (2) of Section 63 provides that no company shall capitalise its profits
or reserves for the purpose of issuing fully paid-up bonus shares under sub-
section (1), unless—


As per Section 2(43) of the Companies Act, 2013, “free reserves” means such reserves which,
as per the latest audited balance sheet of a company, are available for distribution as dividend.
Provided that—
(i) any amount representing unrealised gains, notional gains or revaluation of assets, whether
shown as a reserve or otherwise, or
(ii) any change in carrying amount of an asset or of a liability recognised in equity, including
surplus in profit and loss account on measurement of the asset or the liability at fair value, shall
not be treated as free reserves.

(a) it is authorised by its articles;


(b) it has, on the recommendation of the Board, been authorised in the
general meeting of the company;
(c) it has not defaulted in payment of interest or principal in respect of fixed
deposits or debt securities issued by it;
(d) it has not defaulted in respect of the payment of statutory dues of the
employees, such as, contribution to provident fund, gratuity and bonus;
(e) the partly paid-up shares, if any outstanding on the date of allotment, are
made fully paid-up.
(f) it complies with such conditions as may be prescribed.
The company which has once announced the decision of its Board recommending a
bonus issue, shall not subsequently withdraw the same.
Sub-section (3) of the Section also provides that the bonus shares shall not be issued
in lieu of dividend.
As per Para 39 (i) of Table F under Schedule I to the Companies Act, 2013, a company
in general meeting may, upon the recommendation of the Board, resolve—
(i) (a) that it is desirable to capitalise any part of the amount for the time
being standing to the credit of any of the company’s reserve accounts,
or to the credit of the profit and loss account, or otherwise available
for distribution; and
(b) that such sum be accordingly set free for distribution in the specified
manner amongst the members who would have been entitled thereto,
if distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportions.
(ii) The sum aforesaid shall not be paid in cash but shall be applied, subject
to the provision contained in clause (iii), either in or towards— (a) paying up
any amounts for the time being unpaid on any shares held by such
members respectively; (b) paying up in full, unissued shares of the
company to be allotted and distributed, credited as fully paid-up, to and
amongst such members in the proportions aforesaid; partly in the way
specified in (a) and partly in that specified in (b) above;
A securities premium account and a capital redemption reserve account may only
be applied in the paying up of unissued shares to be issued to members of
the company as fully paid bonus shares. In other words, securities premium
account and capital redemption reserve cannot be applied towards payment
of unpaid amount on any shares held by existing shareholders.

As per Section 63(2) of the Companies Act, 2013, bonus shares cannot be
issued unless party paid-up shares are made fully paid-up. Para 39(ii) of Table F
under Schedule I to the Companies Act, 2013 allows use of free reserves for
paying up amounts unpaid on shares held by existing shareholders.
On a combined reading of both the provisions, it can be said that free reserves
may be used for paying up amounts unpaid on shares held by existing
shareholders (though securities premium account and capital redemption
reserve cannot be used).

As per SEBI Regulations, such securities premium should be realized in cash, whereas under the
Companies Act, 2013, there is no such requirement. In accordance with Section 52, securities
premium may arise on account of issue of shares other than by way of cash. Thus, for unlisted
companies, securities premium (not realized in cash) may be used for issue of bonus shares,
whereas the same cannot be used in case of listed companies.

4.2 RIGHT ISSUE


4.2.1 Introduction
Provisions of section 62(1)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013 govern any company,
public or private, which is desirous of raising its subscribed share capital by issue of
further shares. Whenever a company intends to issue new shares, the voting and
governance rights of the existing shareholders may be diluted, if they are not
allowed to preserve them. It may happen because new shareholders may subscribe
to the issued share capital. Companies Act, 2013 allows existing shareholders to
preserve their position by offering those newly issued shares at the first instance
to them. The existing shareholders are given a right to subscribe these shares, if
they like. However, if they do not desire to subscribe these shares, they are
even given the right to renounce it in favour of someone else (unless the articles of
the company prohibits such a right to renounce).

Value Cum-right Ex-


of value of right

of
share
In nutshell, the existing shareholders have a right to subscribe to any fresh issue of
shares by the company in proportion to their existing holding for shares. They have
an implicit right to renounce this right in favour of anyone else, or even reject it
completely. In other words, the existing shareholders have right of first refusal, i.e.,
the existing shareholders enjoy a right to either subscribe for these shares or sell
their rights or reject the offer.
Example 2
Assume a company makes a right issue of 10,000 shares when its existing issued
and subscribed capital is 100,000 shares. This enables any shareholder having 10
shares to subscribe to 1 new share. Hence X, an existing shareholder holding 1,000
shares, may subscribe to 100 shares as a matter of right. The existing share
percentage of X was 1% (1,000 / 100,000). If X subscribes these shares, his
percentage holding in the company will be maintained at 1% (1,100 / 1,10,000).
However, if X does not mind his share 0.91% diluting (1,000 / 1,10,000), he may
renounce the right in favour of any one else, say Y. Hence, these 100 shares will be
issued to Y, at the insistence of X. X may charge Y for this privilege, which is
technically termed as the value of right.
A company desirous of issuing new shares has to offer, as per Section 62(1) (a) of
Companies Act 2013, the shares to existing equity shareholders through a letter of
offer subject to the following conditions, namely:
 The offer shall be made by notice specifying the number of shares offered
and limiting a time not being less than fifteen days and not exceeding thirty
days from the date of the offer within which the offer, if not accepted, shall
be deemed to have been declined;
 Unless the articles of the company otherwise provide, the offer aforesaid
shall be deemed to include a right exercisable by the person concerned to
renounce the shares offered to him or any of them in favour of any other
person; and the notice (referred to in above bullet point) shall contain a
statement of this right;
 After the expiry of the time specified in the notice aforesaid, or on receipt of
earlier intimation from the person to whom such notice is given that he
declines to accept the shares offered, the Board of Directors may dispose of
them in such manner which is not disadvantageous to the shareholders and
the company.
Exceptions to the rights of existing equity shareholders
Section 62 recognises four situations under which the further shares are to be
issued by a company, but they need not be offered to the existing shareholders.

COMPANY ACCOUNTS 11.13

The shares can be offered, without being offered to the existing shareholders,
provided the company has passed a special resolution and shares are offered
accordingly.
Situation 1
To employees under a scheme of employees’ stock option subject to certain
specified conditions
Situation 2
To any persons, either for cash or for a consideration other than cash, if the
price of such shares is determined by the valuation report of a registered valuer
subject to certain specified conditions.
Situation 3
Sometimes companies borrow money through debentures / loans and give their
creditor an option to buy equity shares of a company. An option is a right, but not
an obligation, to buy equity shares on a future date (expiry date) at a price
agreed in advance (exercise price).
According to Section 62(3), nothing in this section shall apply to the increase of the
subscribed capital of a company caused by the exercise of an option as a term
attached to the debentures issued or loan raised by the company to convert such
debentures or loans into shares in the company.
Provided that the terms of issue of such debentures or loan containing such an
option have been approved before the issue of such debentures or the raising of
loan by a special resolution passed by the company in general meeting.
Situation 4
It is a special situation where the loan has been obtained from the government, and
government in public interest, directs the debentures / loan to be converted
into equity shares.
According to Section 62(4), notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (3),
where any debentures have been issued, or loan has been obtained from any
Government by a company, and if that Government considers it necessary in the
public interest so to do, it may, by order, direct that such debentures or loans or
any part thereof shall be converted into shares in the company on such terms and
conditions as appear to the Government to be reasonable in the circumstances of
the case even if terms of the issue of such debentures or the raising of such loans
do not include a term for providing for an option for such conversion.

Financial effects of a further issue


The financial position of a business is contained in the balance sheet. Further issue
of shares increase the amount of equity (net worth)2 as well as the liquid
resources (Bank). The amount of equity is the product of further number of shares
issued multiplied by issue price. The issue price may be higher than the face value
(issue at a premium). Companies Act does not allow issue of shares at a discount,
except issue of sweat equity shares under Section 53.
Book Value of a share
Book value of a share = Net worth (as per books)/ Number of shares
if there are 10,000 shares with net worth of 1,25,000. The book value of one share
is (` 125,000/ 10,000 shares) ` 12.50 per share. However, the market value may
differ from the book value of shares. The market value of a company's shares
represents the present value of future cash flows expected to be earned from the
share in the form of dividends and capital gains from expected future share price
appreciation.
The market price, which exists before the rights issue, is termed as Cum-right
Market Price of the share. If the company decides to issue further shares, it may
affect the market value of the share. 'Theoretically', the value of a company's
shares after a rights issue must equal the sum of market capitalisation
immediately prior to rights issue and the cash inflows generated from the rights
issue.
Normally, the further public issue to the existing shareholders are offered at a
discounted price from the market value, to evoke positive response as well as to
reward the existing shareholders.
Assume a company having a net worth of ₹ 250,000. 1,000 shares are issued
(making it a right issue of 1:10; or 1 new share for 10 existing shares held) at a
price of ` 14 per share. The existing worth of tangible assets held by the business
shall become 264,000 (Existing net worth ` 250,000
+ Fresh Issue ` 14,000). Equity shares shall correspondingly command a valuation
of ` 264,000.
The market price of the shares after further issue of shares (right issue) is termed
as Ex-right Market Price of the shares. Theoretical Ex-Rights Price is a deemed
value, which is attributed to a company's share immediately after a rights issue
transaction occurs. This price is going to prevail after the further issue of shares
is executed.

As per Section 2(57) of Companies Act 2013, “net worth” means the aggregate value
of the paid-up share capital and all reserves created out of the profits and securities
premium account, after deducting the aggregate value of the accumulated losses, deferred
expenditure and miscellaneous expenditure not written off, as per the audited balance
sheet, but does not include reserves created out of revaluation of assets, write-back of
depreciation and amalgamation.

Right of Renunciation
Right of renunciation refers to the right of the shareholder to surrender his right to
buy the securities and transfer such right to any other person. Shareholders that
have received right shares have three choices of what to do with the rights. They
can act on the rights and buy more shares as per the particulars of the rights issue;
they can sell them in the market; or they can pass on taking advantage of their
rights (i.e., reject the right offer).
The renunciation of the right is valuable and can be monetised by the existing
shareholders in well-functioning capital market. The monetised value available to
the existing shareholders due to right issue is known as ‘value of right’. If a
shareholder decides to renounce all or any of the right shares in favour of his
nominee, the value of right is restricted to the sale price of the renouncement of a
right in favour of the nominee. In case the right issue offer is availed by an
existing shareholder, the value of right is determined as given below:
Value of right = Cum-right value of share – Ex-right value of share
Ex-right value of the shares = [Cum-right value of the existing shares + (Rights
shares X Issue Price)] / (Existing Number of shares + Number of right shares)
In our previous example, Ex-right value of share = [` 250,000 + (` 14 X 1,000
shares)] / 10,000
+ 1,000 shares = ` 24
Value of right = ` 25 – ` 24 = ` 1 per share.
Example 3
Continuing the previous case, consider an individual shareholder Mr. Narain
holding 100 shares of Prosperous Company before rights issue.
Current worth of holding = No. of shares X Cum-right Market Price
= 100 X 25 = ` 2,500
(a) If Narain exercises his right, he will pay ` 14X10 shares = ` 140.
His total investment in the company including right is ` 2,640 (` 2,500+`
140).
On a per share basis, it is ` 2,640 /110 shares = ` 24, which is the Ex-right
Market value of the share.

(b If Narain does not exercise his right to further issue, his holding’s worth will
) decline to
` 24 X 100 shares = ` 2400. The law allows him to compensate for this
dilution of shareholding by renouncing this right in favour of, say, Mr.
Murthy.
Narain can charge Murthy, in well-functioning capital markets, this dilution of
` 100 by renouncing his right to acquire 10 shares. Hence Murthy will be
charged ` 10 per share (` 100 / 10 shares), in return for a confirmed
For every share to be offered to Murthy, Narain must have ten shares at the back.
Hence his holding of 10 shares fetches him right money of ` 10 or ` 1 per share
held. This is exactly equal to the difference between Cum-right and Ex-right value
of the share. It is termed as the Value of Right.

In a well-functioning capital market, this mechanism works in a fair manner to all


the participants.
 Murthy’s total investment will be ` 140 (payable to Company) + ` 100
(payable to Narain, by way of value of right), or ` 240. He will end up holding
ten shares at an average cost of ` 24, which is the Ex-right Market Price of
the share.
 Narain will have a final holding of ten shares worth ` 2400 + ` 100 by way of
value of right received from Murthy. It matches with his cum-right holding
valuation.
ILLUSTRATION 5
A company offers new shares of ` 100 each at 25% premium to existing
shareholders on one for four bases. The cum-right market price of a share is ` 150.
Calculate the value of a right. What should be the ex-right market price of a share?
SOLUTION
Ex-right value of the shares = (Cum-right value of the existing shares + Rights
shares Issue Price) / (Existing Number of shares + No. of right shares)
= (` 150 X 4 Shares + ` 125 X 1 Share) / (4 + 1) Shares
= ` 725 / 5 shares = ` 145 per share.
Value of right = Cum-right value of the share – Ex-right value of the share
= ` 150 – ` 145 = ` 5 per share.
Hence, any one desirous of having a confirmed allotment of one share from the
company at
` 125 will have to pay ` 20 (4 shares X ` 5) to an existing shareholder holding 4
shares and willing to renounce his right of buying one share in favour of that
person.

Example 4
A Company having 70,000 shares of `10 each as its issued share capital and
having market value of ` 21 issues rights shares in the ratio of 1:10 at an issue
price of ` 10. Pass journal entry for issue of right shares.
The entry at the time of subscription of right shares by the existing
shareholders will be: Bank A/c Dr. 70,000
To Equity Share Capital A/c

4.2.3 Advantages and Disadvantages of Right Issue


Advantages of Right Issue
1. Right issue enables the existing shareholders to maintain their proportional
holding in the company and retain their financial and governance rights. It
works as a deterrent to the management, which may like to issue shares to
known persons with a view to have a better control over the company’s
affairs.
2. In well-functioning capital markets, the right issue necessarily leads to dilution
in the value of share. However, the existing shareholders are not affected
by it because getting new shares at a discounted value from their cum-right
value will compensate decrease in the value of shares. The cum-right value
is maintained otherwise also, if the existing shareholders renounce their
right in favour of a third party.
3. Right issue is a natural hedge against the issue expenses normally incurred by
the company in relation to public issue.
4. Right issue has an image enhancement effect, as public and shareholders view
it positively.
5. The chance of success of a right issue is better than that of a general public
issue and is logistically much easier to handle.
Disadvantages of Right Issue
1. The right issue invariably leads to dilution in the market value of the
share of the company.
2. The attractive price of the right issue should be objectively assessed
against its true worth to ensure that you get a bargained deal.

SUMMARY
 Bonus issue means an issue of additional shares free of cost to existing
shareholders.
 Bonus Issue is also known as a "scrip issue" or "capitalization issue" or
“capitalization of profits”.
 Bonus issue has following major effects:
- Share capital gets increased according to the bonus issue ratio
- Effective Earnings per share, Book Value and other per share
values stand reduced.
- Markets take the action usually as a favourable act.
- Market price gets adjusted on issue of bonus shares.
- Accumulated profits get reduced.
 Bonus shares can be issued from following:
- Free Reserves
- Securities Premium collected in cash
- Capital Redemption Reserve.
 Bonus issue cannot be made out of Revaluation Reserve created by
revaluation of assets.
 A right issue is an offer of equity shares in a further issue of shares by a

company to its existing shareholders, to enable them in maintaining


their financial and governance interest in the company, if they so desire.
 The Right shares are normally offered at a price less than the cum-right
value of the share, causing dilution in its value post-right issue. The value
of share after right is termed as ex-right value (or average price) of the
share. The difference between the cum-right and ex-right value (average
price) of the share is called value of right.
 The accounting treatment of rights share is the same as that of issue
of ordinary shares.
 The right issue offers considerable advantages to existing shareholders
enabling them to maintain their rights in the company and is equally
advantageous to the company for its relatively simple logistics and cost
effectiveness as compared to a full blown pubic issue. However, the
dilution in the value of the share is a dampener and a major limitation.

Theoretical Questions
1. Bonus Issue means an offer of free additional shares to existing shareholders.
A company may decide to distribute further shares as an alternative to
increase the dividend pay-out. For details, refer para 4.1.1 & 4.1.2.
2. The financial position of a business is contained in the balance sheet. Further
issue of shares increases the amount of share capital as well as the liquid
resources (Bank). The amount of share capital issued is the product of further
number of shares issued multiplied by issue price. The issue price may be
higher than the face value (issue at a premium).
3. Rights issue is an issue of rights to a company's existing shareholders
that entitles them to buy additional shares directly from the company in
proportion to their existing holdings, within a fixed time period. For
advantages and disadvantages of right issue, refer para 4.2.3.
4. In a situation where existing shareholder does not intend to subscribe to
the rights issue of a company, he may give up his right in favour of another
person for a consideration. Such giving up of rights is called renunciation
of rights.
