Aastha Spintex 1:1 bonus issue: key 2026 dates

Aastha Spintex has announced a fresh set of dates for its 1:1 bonus issue, fixing September 28, 2026 as the record date. The corporate action follows earlier board and shareholder processes around a bonus proposal and a final dividend, and it sets out a clear schedule for allotment and the start of trading in the new shares.

The company’s communications also outline how the bonus shares will rank in the capital structure and the steps through which shareholders become eligible. For investors tracking corporate actions in lower-priced stocks, the update matters because record dates and ex-dates determine who receives the entitlement, while trading starts only after allotment and listing.

What Aastha Spintex announced now

The company said it has fixed September 28, 2026 as the record date for the 1:1 bonus issue. Under a 1:1 ratio, eligible shareholders receive one bonus equity share for every one equity share held.

Aastha Spintex also provided an operational schedule for the corporate action. It indicated that bonus shares will be allotted on September 29, 2026.

In addition, it stated that the bonus shares will begin trading from September 30, 2026. The company added that the bonus shares will rank pari passu, which means they will carry the same rights as the existing equity shares.

Bonus record date: September 28, 2026

Record date is the cut-off date used to determine which shareholders are eligible to receive the bonus shares. Aastha Spintex has fixed this date as Monday, September 28, 2026.

Shareholders whose names appear in the Register of Members or in the records of beneficial owners on the applicable record date are considered for allotment. The company’s earlier communications had also described eligibility in similar terms, subject to applicable approvals.

For investors, the record date is the key operational marker because trades executed around this date determine whether the buyer or seller ends up with the entitlement, depending on settlement timelines and exchange rules.

Allotment and trading start dates

Aastha Spintex said it will allot 44,142,190 bonus shares on September 29, 2026. It also said the bonus shares will begin trading from September 30, 2026.

The company also stated that the bonus shares will rank pari passu with the existing shares. This typically means that, after listing, the new shares should have the same rights as existing equity shares in areas such as voting and dividends, unless otherwise specified.

Separately, an earlier table in the provided material also lists “Bonus Shares” as 28,740,256 and 28,740,256 (100.00%). The latest announcement, however, explicitly mentions an allotment of 44,142,190 bonus shares, and investors generally track the most recent exchange filing and corporate action timetable for operational dates.

Dividend record date and payout timeline

Alongside the bonus action, Aastha Spintex had earlier fixed September 9, 2026 as the record date to determine eligible shareholders for a proposed final dividend. The Board of Directors took this decision at a meeting held on August 25, 2026.

The company has referred to a final dividend of Rs 0.10 per equity share. It also indicated that the dividend payout is expected within 30 days post-AGM, subject to the required approval process.

An official disclosure dated August 26, 2026 also confirmed that the board fixed September 9, 2026 as the record date for dividend and set the AGM date where shareholders would consider the bonus issue and other matters.

AGM and e-voting: approvals around the bonus

The company scheduled its 13th Annual General Meeting (AGM) for September 16, 2026, and it is to be conducted via video conferencing. Shareholders were to consider the proposed 1:1 bonus issue and other resolutions at this meeting.

Remote e-voting for the AGM was stated to open on September 12, 2026. Another update in the provided material also notes that the e-voting period remained open from September 12, 2026 to September 15, 2026.

The provided text also states that shareholders approved the bonus issue resolution at the AGM. That approval is a key step because bonus issues generally require shareholder consent and compliance with applicable regulations.

How the 1:1 bonus issue is structured

Aastha Spintex’s proposal is to issue fully paid-up bonus equity shares of Rs 10 each in the ratio of 1:1. This means the number of shares held by an eligible shareholder doubles, while the company’s overall equity value on the record date does not change solely because of the bonus issue, assuming no other factors change.

The company described the bonus as a capitalisation-based issue. In such actions, reserves are capitalised into share capital, increasing the number of outstanding shares without a cash outflow like a dividend.

The company has said the bonus shares will be allotted to shareholders whose names appear in the register or beneficial owner records on the applicable record date, in line with approvals.

Capitalisation amount and authorised capital proposal

Aastha Spintex proposed to capitalise up to ₹44.14 crore from eligible reserves and securities premium for the allotment, as of March 31, 2026. The company’s disclosures also refer to the use of eligible Free Reserves, Securities Premium and Capital Redemption Reserve for this purpose.

In addition to the bonus, the AGM agenda included an increase in authorised share capital. The company proposed raising authorised share capital from ₹45 crore to ₹100 crore.

An authorised capital increase does not by itself issue new shares, but it expands the company’s capacity to issue shares in the future, subject to approvals.

Key dates and numbers at a glance

Market impact: what changes and what does not

A 1:1 bonus issue increases the number of outstanding shares and the number of shares held by eligible investors. Because it is a capitalisation of reserves rather than a cash distribution, it is typically not a direct cash inflow or outflow event for shareholders.

The company’s own description highlights the key accounting reality: the corporate action increases the share count without changing the company’s overall equity value on the record date, assuming no other factors change. In practice, market prices typically adjust to reflect the increased share count, though actual trading outcomes depend on broader demand, liquidity, and market conditions.

For shareholders, the operational focus remains on the record date for eligibility, and on the start of trading date for the new shares. For the dividend, eligibility is tied to the separate record date of September 9, 2026 and the payment remains subject to shareholder approval at the AGM.

Why the timeline matters for investors

Corporate actions can create avoidable confusion when multiple record dates exist for different purposes. In Aastha Spintex’s case, the dividend and the bonus issue have separate record dates, and investors need to track each event independently.

The latest update provides clarity on the bonus process by stating the record date (September 28), allotment date (September 29), and trading start date (September 30). This is useful because investors typically cannot trade the new shares until they are credited and listed for trading.

The company has also linked the bonus issue to a reserves capitalisation plan of up to ₹44.14 crore and an authorised capital increase from ₹45 crore to ₹100 crore, both of which help explain how the corporate action is being implemented within the capital structure.

Conclusion

Aastha Spintex has fixed September 28, 2026 as the record date for its 1:1 bonus issue, with allotment scheduled for September 29 and trading to begin from September 30. Separately, the company had set September 9, 2026 as the record date for a proposed final dividend of Rs 0.10 per share, subject to shareholder approval at the September 16 AGM.

Investors tracking these actions will typically watch the company’s filings and exchange notices for confirmation of credit of shares and any further updates linked to the authorised share capital proposal and the dividend payout timeline.
