Bonus shares are distributions of earnings that a company undertakes in the form of stocks that increase capital. The financing of such operations comes from the general reserve that the company builds by cutting from its annual income on a cumulative basis. When this reserve reaches a pre-specified figure, the company is granted the right to convert it to capital through bonus shares.
