Corporate Actions
Corporate Actions
A corporate action is an event initiated by a public company that brings or could bring an actual change to the securities like equity or debt, issued by the company. Corporate actions are typically agreed upon by a company's board of directors and authorized by the shareholders.
There are two primary types of corporate action - mandatory and voluntary.
Some corporate actions when announced are generally automatically applied to the investments of the shareholders. These are known as Mandatory corporate actions.
In some cases, the shareholders are given the option to participate in the respective corporate action. Here the shareholder decides if he will be a part of the corporate action or not. These Corporate Actions are classified as voluntary.
Corporate actions include stock splits, dividends, mergers and acquisitions, rights issues and spin-offs.
