Can I sell my shares before the split or bonus shares are credited?

Before Bonus Shares are credited: Yes, you can sell your shares normally before the bonus shares are credited. This will not affect your trades or your P&L, as the bonus shares will be allotted based on your holdings as of the record date (October 15, 2025).
