| CB(cum bonus issue) | A company has declared that existing shareholders will receive a bonus in the form of additional securities. For example, a company may declare a 1 for 1 bonus issue. This means that for every one security held by a shareholder they will receive one additional security. If the bonus issue is a 1 for 5 bonus, then shareholders will receive 1 additional security for every 5 securities held. Those holders on the company’s register at the record date will be entitled to receive the additional securities. The purchaser of securities cum bonus is entitled to the additional securities. Securities are traded cum bonus until the ex bonus date. Trading in the actual bonus issue begins on the morning of the ex bonus date and ends at the close of trading on the business day the securities are despatched. |
CC(cum capital return) | A company has declared an amount per security which will be returned to shareholders. The capital return may be in the form of cash or securities.

| RE(reconstructed) | he reconstruction flag ‘RE’ is applied from the day the security commences trading on a reconstructed basis and remains for 12 months. A reconstruction may be a consolidation (reduction in the number of shares on issue) or a share split (increase in the number of shares on issue). So, for example, if there is a 3:1 consolidation then the number of shares are divided by three, i.e. there is now one share for every three (previous) shares. This type of change will usually result in the share price being increased threefold. Alternatively if there is a 4:1 split, there are now four shares for every one (previous) share, the share price is usually reduced accordingly i.e. divided by four in this case. All orders are purged at the end of the trading day prior to the security being quoted on an RE basis. A RD status note is also applied to the reconstructed instrument during the period of deferred settlement trading. |
| XD(ex dividend) | XD first displays for a security from the morning of the ex-dividend date (generally one business day before the record date) and remains until the close of trading on the date payable. Trading in securities displaying XD on ASX Trade does not carry the entitlement to the dividend payment. For more information refer to the description of cum dividend. All orders are purged at the end of the trading day prior to the security being quoted on an XD basis. |
