Sri Adhikari Brothers Television Network Announces 1:10 Stock Split to Boost Trading Liquidity

Sri Adhikari Brothers Television Network Ltd. has cleared a 1:10 stock split that keeps overall investment value unchanged but multiplies share count for existing shareholders, a move expected to improve trading liquidity and make each share more affordable for small investors in the media, entertainment and publication company.

Under the approved split ratio, every equity share with a face value of Rs 10 will convert into ten fully paid-up equity shares with a face value of Rs 1 each. The economic interest for shareholders remains the same, as the market price normally adjusts lower in proportion to the higher number of shares outstanding.

For a simple illustration, an investor holding 100 equity shares before the corporate action will hold 1,000 shares once the Sri Adhikari Brothers Television Network stock split is executed. The share price is expected to adjust to one-tenth of its earlier level, so the total market value of that investor’s holdings should stay broadly unchanged at the time of implementation.

"The record date for the purpose of above sub-division/split of equity shares shall be decided after obtaining shareholders' approval through a Postal Ballot," said Sri Adhikari Brothers Television Network in a stock exchange filing. Investors holding shares on or before that record date will qualify for the additional shares without needing to submit separate requests or forms.

Before the Sri Adhikari Brothers Television Network stock split, the company’s authorised share capital stood at Rs 11.10 crore, represented by equity shares with a face value of Rs 10 each. After the subdivision, the same authorised capital of Rs 11.10 crore will be represented by a larger number of equity shares, now carrying a face value of Rs 1 each.

Paid-up capital also reflects a similar mechanical change. The company earlier had paid-up equity capital of Rs 25.37 crore, based on shares with Rs 10 face value. Following the Sri Adhikari Brothers Television Network stock split, the number of shares will rise tenfold, each with Rs 1 face value, but the paid-up capital will remain at Rs 25.37 crore.

Metric	Before Split	After Split
Face value per share	Rs 10	Rs 1
Authorised share capital	Rs 11.10 crore	Rs 11.10 crore
Paid-up share capital	Rs 25.37 crore	Rs 25.37 crore
Number of shares (illustrative holding)	100 shares	1,000 shares

"The split of equity shares will make the shares more affordable and attractive to invest thereby encouraging greater participation of retail investors and will also enhance the liquidity of the company's shares in the market," Sri Adhikari Brothers Television Network has further confirmed in an NSE filing. Market participants often watch such actions closely, as improved liquidity can influence trading volumes and price discovery.

Sri Adhikari Brothers Television Network stock split: process, structure and timeline

The Sri Adhikari Brothers Television Network stock split will be carried out after shareholders grant approval through a Postal Ballot, following which the company expects to complete the entire process within two months. Once the split is effective, eligible investors will receive credit of the additional shares automatically in proportion to their holdings as on the announced record date.

The company has clarified that this corporate action is a share subdivision rather than a consolidation, so no shareholder will miss out on allotment of shares due to rounding. There is no capital dilution because total share capital, both authorised and paid-up, stays unchanged; only the number of shares and their nominal face value are being altered structurally.

Investors who continue to hold Sri Adhikari Brothers Television Network shares on the record date will therefore see an increase in the number of units held but not in total invested capital at that point. Market observers expect the stock to remain under watch in the near term, as stock splits can draw greater interest from retail participants once the lower post-split price becomes visible on exchanges.
