Gautam Exim, a company specializing in waste paper, pulp, and specialty chemicals, has announced a 1:2 stock split and a 3:1 bonus issue for its shareholders. This decision was approved by shareholders earlier this month and aims to enhance share liquidity and affordability. As a result of the stock split, each share with a face value of ₹10 will be divided into two shares with a face value of ₹5 each. Additionally, shareholders will receive three bonus shares for every one share held after the split. This means that if a shareholder owns 10 shares, they will end up with 80 shares post-split and bonus issue, although the total value of their investment will remain unchanged. The company plans to increase its authorized capital from ₹5 crore (approximately $600,000 USD) to ₹13 crore (approximately $1.56 million USD) to facilitate the bonus issue. Gautam Exim's shares have seen a remarkable rise, with a 176% increase in the past year and a staggering 1,284% over the last five years. Currently, shares are trading at ₹321 on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and have experienced fluctuations recently, including a nearly 8% decline in the last five days.
