Any shareholder holding 100 shares of small-cap stock will end up owning 2,000 shares. Here’s how:
If an investor holds 100 shares of Sikko Industries ahead of the record date, then with the 1:10 stock split coming in place, he or she will end up with 1,000 shares of the company.
After this, the bonus issue of 1:1 will come into play. So, with the investor now owning 1,000 shares, he or she will receive another 1000 shares, taking the total holding to 2,000 shares.
