Key Takeaways

• Mold-Tek Packaging approved the allotment of 3,32,28,914 fully paid-up bonus equity shares on October 12, 2026, following shareholder approval in September.
• The company issued bonus shares in a 1:1 ratio, giving eligible shareholders one additional equity share for every existing share held on the record date.

Mold-Tek Packaging Limited has completed the allotment of 3,32,28,914 bonus equity shares in a 1:1 ratio, doubling its total issued equity shares to 6,64,57,828. The allotment was approved through a board resolution passed by circulation on October 12, 2026, according to the company's regulatory filing with the stock exchanges.

Each bonus share carries a face value of ₹5 and has been issued as fully paid-up equity. Eligible shareholders will receive one additional equity share for every existing share held on the record date fixed for the bonus issue.

The allotment follows approvals obtained from the company's board and shareholders earlier in the year.

Mold-Tek Packaging Bonus Issue Receives Final Allotment Approval

The bonus share proposal was initially recommended by Mold-Tek Packaging's board of directors at its meeting on August 26, 2026.

Shareholders subsequently approved the proposal at the company's Annual General Meeting held on September 21, 2026.

With the board approving the allotment on October 12, the company has completed the allotment stage of the corporate action.

Under the approved arrangement, shareholders whose names appeared in the register of members or records of beneficial owners on the applicable record date became eligible for the bonus shares.

The October 12 filing confirms the number and terms of the allotted shares but does not separately specify the record date.

Paid-Up Share Capital Doubles Following Bonus Allotment

The allotment has increased Mold-Tek Packaging's paid-up equity share capital from ₹16,61,44,570 to ₹33,22,89,140.

The company's equity capital structure before and after the bonus issue is as follows:

The total number of issued equity shares has increased by 100% following the allotment.

The additional paid-up share capital represents a capitalisation of reserves rather than an inflow of fresh funds from shareholders.

Unlike a fresh equity issue, a bonus issue does not require eligible shareholders to pay a subscription amount for the additional shares.

What the 1:1 Bonus Issue Changes

A 1:1 bonus issue doubles the number of equity shares held by an eligible shareholder.

For instance, a shareholder holding 100 shares on the record date would become entitled to 100 additional bonus shares, increasing the total holding to 200 shares.

However, the bonus allotment does not independently increase the shareholder's proportionate ownership in the company. Because shares are issued proportionately, existing shareholders retain their relative stakes, assuming no other changes in shareholding.

The market price per share is ordinarily adjusted to reflect the increase in outstanding shares following the relevant corporate action.

The bonus issue also does not change the company's underlying operating assets or business performance merely because additional shares have been issued.

Bonus Shares to Carry Equal Rights

Mold-Tek Packaging confirmed that the newly allotted bonus shares will rank equally with its existing equity shares.

This means the bonus shares will carry the same rights as existing shares, including entitlement to dividends and other corporate benefits declared after the allotment, subject to the applicable terms.

The company disclosed the allotment under Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulations, 2015.

The October 12 announcement establishes the completed bonus allotment and the resulting increase in paid-up share capital. It does not announce a separate dividend, additional fundraising or change in the company's operating outlook.
