Authum Investment Announces Major Bonus Shares for Shareholders at 4:1 Ratio

Authum Investment & Infrastructure Limited, a significant player in the NBFC sector, has announced a major bonus for its shareholders. The company plans to issue free shares, subject to shareholder approval. In a meeting held on November 28, 2025, the Board recommended issuing bonus shares by capitalising reserves at a 4:1 ratio. This means four new equity shares of Re. 1 each will be given for every existing share.

To facilitate this bonus issue and future growth plans, the Board has approved an increase in the Authorised Share Capital. It will rise from Rs 100 crore to Rs 128 crore. This change involves increasing equity shares from 58 crore to 86 crore, while preference shares remain at 4.2 crore. This adjustment will allow the issuance of additional equity, including the proposed bonus shares.

The company plans to issue around 67,93,80,400 equity shares of Rs 1 each as part of this bonus initiative. As of September 30, 2025, the funding for this issuance will come from free reserves, securities premium account, and/or capital redemption reserve. This move will significantly boost the company's share capital.

Before the bonus issue, Authum's paid-up capital stood at 16,98,45,100 equity shares, totalling Rs 16,98,45,100. Post-bonus, it will increase to 84,92,25,500 equity shares or Rs 84,92,25,500. The company has allocated Rs 84,92,25,500 from its reserves and share premium for this purpose.

As of September 30, 2025, Authum Investment holds robust reserves amounting to Rs 8,880.02 crore in free reserves and securities premium. This ensures ample resources for capitalisation. The company aims to credit or dispatch these bonus shares by January 26, 2026.

Eligible shareholders can expect their bonus shares to be credited directly to their demat accounts by this date. This is contingent on completing all necessary approvals and formalities in a timely manner.
