@murchr,littledove and mlennyama;
The formula is as below;
KCB is to give a dividend of sh.2 per share which translates to ksh.6.05bn if u multiply sh.2 by the number of issued shares of 3.025bn.
Instead they have decided to give ksh.1 in cash and sh.1 in script dividend.
NB:@littledove-shareholder has no choice to choose whether to take script dividend or cash.
The par value of KCB share is ksh.1 and the total number of issued shares is 3.025bn
After giving the ksh.3.025bn as dividend based on sh.1 per share,the balance remaining is ksh.3.025bn.
This ksh.3.025bn instead of giving in cash kcb gives u shares instead.
Divide ksh.3.025bn/sh.1 gives u 3.025bn shares
Divide script dividend of sh.1 by the par value sh.1 gives u 1 which means bonus of 1:1
