All about Fredun Pharmaceuticals’ bonus issue

Fredun Pharmaceuticals had announced a 2:1 bonus issue in May, saying the move reflects its strong financial performance and confidence in its future growth. Under the issue, eligible shareholders holding the company's shares as of the record date will receive two bonus shares of Rs 10 face value for every one share held.

Fredun said that the strategic intent of the bonus issue was to reward shareholders for their sustained confidence and long-term commitment to the company’s growth vision, as well as signal management’s confidence in the structural earnings growth and long-term scalability of the business.


“The recommendation of a 2:1 bonus issue reflects the strong momentum we have built and our confidence in sustaining this growth trajectory. With robust performance across revenue and profitability, and continued progress in diversifying into higher-value segments such as nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals and pet healthcare, we are strengthening the quality and scalability of our business. This bonus is a way of sharing our progress with shareholders while reinforcing our commitment to consistent, long-term value creation,” said Fredun Medhora, Managing Director of the company.
