Small cap companies Likhitha Infrastructure Ltd and Mefcom Capital Markets Ltd have fixed Friday, December 02, as the record date for the purpose of determining the eligibility of shareholders for the purpose of sub-division/split, as per the companies' exchange filings.
In case of a stock split, the company reduces the face value of each share by a predetermined ratio and issues more shares to its existing shareholders.
Generally, a company opts for stock split or subdivision of shares when it is concerned that the price of its shares is too high, and wishes to make the shares more affordable. Hence, without increasing their market capitalisation, companies can attract new investors by splitting their shares.
For instance, if the ratio is 1:5, then the shareholder will receive 5 shares for every share they own.
