KPI Green Energy Limited, a Gujarat-based renewable power generating firm, is likely to issue bonus shares to its shareholders, CNBC TV18 has reported.
To accommodate the bonus issue, the company could approve an increase in its authorised share capital, the report added.
Why the proposal?
According to the website, this is because KPI Green’s shares have seen a significant rise this year, increasing 183%. Its stock is trading marginally lower than the record high of ₹1413.90, achieved on December 13.
KPI Green’s board is, therefore, contemplating additional shares for the company’s shareholders, and the proposal is likely to be taken up – and approved – at the board meeting on Saturday. The proposal, if approved, will be the second instance of KPI Green issuing additional shares to its shareholders; in January, these were given in the ratio of 1:1, i.e., one free share for every one share held.
