By increasing the number of outstanding shares, this move is expected to improve trading liquidity and marketability of BGDL's shares," the firm further stated.
A potential dividend declaration of up to 100 per cent is also on the agenda, showcasing BGDL’s commitment to profit distribution and strong financial standing.
