IRIS is not designed to cope with events prior to 1/4/1982. Instalments cannot be entered after 5/4/98.
The acquisition event type is to record any subsequent purchases of the same class of share.
A bonus issue is an offer of free additional shares to existing shareholders. A company may decide to distribute further shares as an alternative to increasing the dividend pay out. Also known as a "scrip issue" or "capitalization issue".This type of event does not normally have an amount associated with it, and therefore the amount field is disabled.
Use the disposal event type to record any sale or disposal of shares.
IRIS automatically applies the share identification rules when calculating any capital gains or losses on disposals.
A rights issue is shares offered to existing shareholders in proportion to their current shareholding. The price at which the shares are offered is usually at a discount to the current share price, which gives investors an incentive to buy the new shares. Not all shareholders choose to 'exercise' their rights, they can either let the company sell the rights on their behalf or sell the rights to someone else - IRIS does not cater for the sale of rights issues.
Installments are disabled from 5th April 1998.
Please consult the Consolidation and Share Split page for more information on these types of events.
