String Metaverse Ltd has allotted 5,55,86,661 fully paid-up bonus equity shares to eligible public shareholders in a 2:9 ratio, increasing its public shareholding to 25.06% and achieving compliance with Minimum Public Shareholding (MPS) requirements. The allotment was approved by the Bonus Issue Committee of the Board of Directors on June 22, 2026, based on a record date of June 19, 2026. The bonus shares, with a face value of Re. 1 each, rank pari-passu with existing equity shares and carry identical rights, including dividend and voting entitlements.
The bonus issue was executed exclusively for public shareholders, as the Promoter and Promoter Group irrevocably forgone their entitlement. Consequently, no bonus shares were allotted to the promoter category. This strategic move was undertaken in accordance with SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/PoD2/P/CIR/2023/18 dated February 03, 2023, to satisfy the 25% public shareholding mandate prescribed under Rule 19A of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Rules, 1957, and Regulation 38 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
Capital Structure Changes
The allotment has altered the company's paid-up equity share capital and shareholding pattern. The total number of equity shares increased from 1,164,323,110 to 1,219,909,771, raising the paid-up capital from ₹1,164,323,110 to ₹1,219,909,771.

Shareholding Pattern Shift
