What is a Reverse Stock Split/Consolidation of Shares?
Reverse Stock Split/Consolidation of Shares is a corporate action wherein a company reduces the number of shares traded on the stock exchanges by combining shares.
- You will be eligible for these shares if you purchased the stocks before the ex-date (for it to be settled in your demat account by the record date).
- The number of shares in the market reduces after consolidation.
- The face value of shares and share price increases in proportion to the consolidation.
Important dates during a Reverse Stock Split/Consolidation of Shares:
For example, Svarnim Trade Udyog announces a share consolidation of 1:10. That is, every 10 shares held by an investor will be reduced to 1. If Ms. Keerthy holds 5000 shares, she will hold 500 shares post-consolidation.
