Who is eligible to receive the split shares?
Shareholders who hold or purchase shares of Global Education Limited on or before the cum-date (December 09, 2024) will be eligible to receive the split shares. To qualify, the shares must be credited to your demat account by the record date (December 10, 2024).
How long does it take for the split shares to reflect?
When a stock undergoes a split, it takes up to 2-3 working days from the ex-date or record date for the new shares to be credited to the demat account. During this period, the shares may not be visible in your holdings.
The P&L may show an artificial decrease in profits or an increase in losses until the new shares are credited. This will be automatically adjusted once the shares are updated.

Can I sell my shares before the split shares are credited?
Yes, you can sell your shares even before the split shares are credited to your demat account. However, the shares sold will be adjusted for the stock split, and the remaining split shares will be credited to your account within 2-3 working days after the record date. There will be no impact on your P&L.
What happens if a stock split results in fractional shares?
If a stock split results in fractional shares, these cannot be traded in the market. The company appoints a trustee to buy back the fractional shares, and the proceeds are credited to the shareholder’s primary bank account, typically within 45 days.
For example: If a shareholder holds 29 shares and the company announces a 5:2 stock split, resulting in 72.5 shares, the shareholder will receive 72 shares, and the value of the 0.5 fractional share will be paid in cash.
