Cosmetics-to-fashion retailer Nykaa said on Wednesday the company's board will meet on 3 October to approve the issuance of bonus shares to its existing shareholders.

In its filing with the exchanges, the company said, “We wish to inform you that a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company will be held on Monday, October 03, 2022, to, interalia, consider and approve the issuance of Bonus Shares to the equity shareholders of the Company in the ratio, as it may deem fit and seeking shareholders’ approval by way of postal ballot and such other approval(s), as the Board may deem appropriate."

Bonus shares are additional shares given to the current shareholders of the company without any additional cost, based upon the number of shares that a shareholder owns. These are the firm's accumulated earnings, which are not given out in the form of dividends, but are converted into free shares.
