Halder Venture Bonus Shares

"This is in continuation to our earlier intimation dated July 23, 2025 regarding fixing of record date for issue of bonus equity shares in the ratio of 2:1 i.e., 2 (Two) new fully paid-up Equity Share of Rs 10/- each for every 1 (One) existing fully paid-up Equity Share of Rs 10/- each. We hereby inform you that, pursuant to the mail received from BSE on August 28, 2025, we hereby revise the record date for determining the entitlement of the Members to receive bonus equity shares to Tuesday, September 02, 2025 (earlier communicated as Monday, September 01, 2025)," said Halder Venture in a stock exchange filing.

As of the date of board approval, which is July 23, 2025, the firm has planned to issue about 82,92,090 equity shares as bonus shares at a price of Rs 10 apiece, for a total of Rs 8,29,20,900. According to the company's audited financial reports for the year ending March 31, 2025, these bonus equity shares will be distributed from the securities premium account.

Following the bonus issue, there was a notable shift in the company's share capital structure. Prior to the bonus issue, the issued, subscribed, and paid-up capital was Rs 4,14,60,450, which included 41,46,045 equity shares of Rs 10 each, while the allowed capital was Rs 13,42,50,000, which was split into 1,34,25,000 equity shares of Rs 10 each. The authorized capital stays at Rs 13,42,50,000 following the bonus issue, but the issued, subscribed, and paid-up capital increases significantly to Rs 12,43,81,350, which translates to 1,24,38,135 equity shares of Rs 10 apiece. However, the fully paid-up equity share capital as of the record date will determine the final number of bonus equity shares to be issued.

The corporation would use about Rs 8,29,20,900 from the securities premium account to conduct the bonus issue; the exact paid-up share capital will be determined on the record date. The total amount of the company's free reserves and securities premium account that was available for capitalization as of March 31, 2025, was Rs 5,041.14 lakh. It is anticipated that the bonus shares will be credited or delivered by September 22, 2025, which is two months from the Board's approval date.
