Mold-Tek Packaging board approves 1:1 bonus issue, Rs 3 final dividend

Mold-Tek Packaging’s board has approved a 1:1 bonus share issue and recommended a final dividend of Rs 3 per share for FY26. Under the proposal, shareholders will receive one bonus equity share with a face value of Rs 5 for every fully paid-up equity share of Rs 5 held as on the record date. The record date will be announced later, the company said in an exchange filing on Wednesday.

The board also recommended a final dividend of Rs 3 per equity share, or 60% of the face value of Rs 5 each, for the financial year ended March 2026. The dividend will be declared at the company’s annual general meeting. The record date or book closure period for the dividend will be announced later.

The bonus issue is subject to shareholder approval. Mold-Tek Packaging said it will issue 3.32 crore bonus equity shares of Rs 5 each, amounting to Rs 16.61 crore. The bonus shares will be issued out of the company’s free reserves as of March 31, 2026.


Following the bonus issue, the company’s paid-up share capital will rise to Rs 33.22 crore from Rs 16.61 crore, while the number of equity shares will double to 6.64 crore from 3.32 crore. The company said the bonus issue will be implemented within two months from the date of the board meeting.

The board also approved an increase in the authorised share capital to Rs 40 crore from Rs 20 crore. The authorised capital will now comprise 8 crore equity shares of Rs 5 each, compared with 4 crore shares earlier. The move will require shareholder approval and an amendment to the company’s memorandum of association.
