The Board of Directors of Nykaa To Consider Issuing bonus Shares
Nykaa’s parent company, FSN E-Commerce Ventures, told stock exchanges on September 28 in a regulatory filing that a meeting of its board of directors is planned on October 3 to review and authorise the issuance of bonus shares to shareholders.
The board may request shareholder approval for the share offering by a postal poll and other means.
Bonus shares are extra shares that a corporation issues based on the current shares that a shareholder already owns.
On September 27, Nykaa made headlines for collaborating with the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) to develop the ‘Nykaa Chair in Consumer Technology.’ The company intends to use this to produce consumer technology research solutions.
The announcement is made while the listed beauty ecommerce site is still suffering from the adverse market situation. The past month has seen a decline in the price of Nykaa’s shares. The stock dropped 8% from INR 1,391.35 on August 30 to INR 1,277.35 on Wednesday.
The decrease in Nykaa’s share prices since a record high of INR 2,574 in November has burned out more than 53% of investor value in the last year. Tightening monetary policies and unpredictable market sentiment have complicated matters for the company.
