   A free issue of shares to shareholders when a company transfers money from its reserves to its permanent capital. Changing reserves into permanent capital, or into new shares as part of the long-term funding of the business, makes the reserves more obviously and more accountably part of the shareholders' equity. The new shares are distributed to the existing holders in proportion to their existing holdings. Also known as a capitalization issue.
