A bonus share (Swedish: fondaktie) is a share issued through a bonus issue. The company transfers funds from its equity to its share capital, and the shareholders receive new shares without paying.
Bonus shares are normally allocated in proportion to existing holdings, so the owners' stakes remain unchanged while the number of shares increases. The right to receive bonus shares is called a bonus share right. The new shares must be entered in the share ledger with share numbers and owners.
A bonus issue raises share capital using the company's own funds, without new capital being added.
