The entitlement ratio is 1:1, meaning eligible shareholders can subscribe to one rights share for every one fully paid-up share they hold before the ex-date.

Understanding the Ex-Date

The ex-date plays a critical role in determining shareholder eligibility for dividends, rights, and bonus issues. From this date onward, new buyers of the stock are not entitled to the upcoming corporate benefits. To qualify, investors must ensure they hold the shares before the ex-date, while the company uses the record date to finalize the list of eligible beneficiaries.

Whether it's dividend income, bonus shares, or participating in a rights issue, May 30, 2025, is a key date to remember for stakeholders of these 17 companies.
