Mold-Tek Technologies bonus 1:1, ₹2 dividend, AGM 2026

What the company announced on August 26

Mold-Tek Technologies Ltd informed stock exchanges that its Board of Directors met on August 26, 2026 to consider a bonus issue, recommend a final dividend for FY26, and fix the date of the annual general meeting (AGM). Following the meeting, the company announced a bonus issue in a 1:1 ratio and recommended a final dividend of ₹2 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The company also laid out key AGM and dividend timetable details, including the dividend record date and the book closure period.

The bonus issue was structured as one bonus equity share for every fully paid-up equity share held. Each share carries a face value of ₹2, and the bonus shares will also be of face value ₹2. The company clarified that the bonus issue is subject to shareholder approval at the AGM. Separately, shareholder approval was subsequently reported as received at the 42nd AGM held on September 21, 2026, covering both the final dividend and the bonus issue.

Bonus issue details: 1:1 and what changes for shareholders

Under the 1:1 bonus issue, eligible shareholders receive one additional equity share for every one equity share held on the record date to be announced for the bonus entitlement. This effectively doubles the number of shares held by each shareholder, with the additional shares issued at no extra cost. While the share count increases, the overall value adjusts through a corresponding change in the price per share, as the company’s total equity base remains proportionate.

Mold-Tek Technologies stated that the bonus shares will be issued out of free reserves available as on March 31, 2026. The company also indicated that the bonus issue is expected to be implemented within two months from the date of the board meeting. However, the specific record date for determining bonus entitlement was not announced alongside the board decision, and the company said it would communicate the bonus record date in due course.

Capital and reserves: pre and post bonus numbers

The disclosures included specific paid-up capital figures before and after the bonus issue. Pre-bonus, the paid-up equity share capital stood at ₹5.7610 crore, representing 2,88,05,118 equity shares of ₹2 each. Post-bonus, the paid-up capital is set to rise to ₹11.5220 crore, representing 5,76,10,236 equity shares of ₹2 each.

For funding the bonus issuance, the company cited free reserves, retained earnings, and securities premium as sources. It also disclosed free reserves or retained earnings of ₹115.0037 crore as of March 31, 2026, which it would use to capitalise the bonus shares.

Dividend announcement: ₹2 per share and the record date

Alongside the bonus issue, the board recommended a final dividend of ₹2.00 per equity share for FY26. For dividend entitlement, Mold-Tek Technologies fixed September 14, 2026 as the record date, subject to necessary approvals. The company also provided the book closure period as September 15, 2026 to September 21, 2026.

These dates matter because the record date determines which shareholders are eligible for the final dividend. Under India’s settlement framework, investors typically need the shares credited to their demat accounts by the record date to be eligible. Some commentary around the corporate action also referred to the T+1 settlement cycle, which generally requires buying at least one trading day before the record date for eligibility.

AGM schedule and shareholder approval

Mold-Tek Technologies scheduled its 42nd Annual General Meeting for September 21, 2026. The bonus issue was announced as subject to shareholder approval at the AGM. A later update stated that shareholders approved both the final dividend of ₹2 per equity share and the bonus shares during the 42nd AGM held on September 21, 2026.

With shareholder approval in place as reported, the remaining operational steps include announcing the record date for bonus entitlement and completing the issuance process within the stated timeline. The company had earlier indicated that the bonus issue is expected to be implemented within two months from the board meeting date.

Market context: the stock price reference in the update

The information set also referenced the stock’s market price. The share price of MOLDTECH was stated as ₹200.08 as on September 25, 2026, with a move of +0.88 (+0.44%) at close (timestamped at 3:29:42 PM GMT+5:30). This price reference provides context to investors tracking the corporate action announcements and subsequent timeline.

Key facts table

What investors typically track next

For investors, two separate timelines matter. The dividend has a defined record date of September 14, 2026 and a stated book closure period leading into the AGM. The bonus issue, while approved by the board and reported as later approved by shareholders at the AGM, still requires a specific record date announcement for determining eligibility for bonus shares.

The next update investors watch for is the company’s communication of the bonus record date and the completion of procedural steps for crediting bonus shares. Until that record date is published, shareholders cannot precisely plan eligibility based on settlement timelines.

Why the announcement matters

A 1:1 bonus issue increases the number of outstanding shares and adjusts the paid-up capital accordingly, moving from ₹5.7610 crore to ₹11.5220 crore based on the disclosed share counts. It is a balance sheet reclassification funded from reserves and does not, by itself, change the company’s underlying business performance. The final dividend recommendation of ₹2 per share is a direct shareholder payout tied to FY26, with eligibility linked to the September 14, 2026 record date.

Both actions are common corporate steps that investors monitor for clarity on timelines, eligibility, and implementation. In this case, the dividend timeline is specific, while the bonus record date remains pending disclosure.

Conclusion

Mold-Tek Technologies’ board approved a 1:1 bonus issue and recommended a ₹2 final dividend for FY26 on August 26, 2026, and the 42nd AGM was set for September 21, 2026. The dividend record date was fixed as September 14, 2026, while the company said the bonus record date would be announced later. The next confirmed step for shareholders is the company’s formal communication of the bonus record date and the subsequent implementation process within the stated two-month window from the board meeting.
