Corporate Actions are among the most important events that affect shareholders, investors, analysts, finance professionals and capital market participants.
Yet many investors understand only the announcement and not the logic behind these actions.
This course takes a practical and intuitive approach to understanding Corporate Actions by explaining not only what they are, but also why companies announce them, how they impact shareholders, and how they influence market perception.
You will learn the concepts through real-life examples, simple analogies, practical illustrations and corporate finance reasoning rather than memorizing definitions.
The course begins with the fundamentals of Corporate Organizations and Listed Companies before progressing to the classification of Corporate Actions into Mandatory, Voluntary and Mandatory-with-Choice actions.

Why Take This Course?
Most investors know that a company has announced:
Dividend, Bonus Shares, Stock Split, Rights Issue, Buyback, Merger or some thing else...
But very few truly understand, Why the company announced it. Whether shareholder wealth actually changes? How shareholding patterns are affected, How voting rights are impacted? Why markets react positively or negatively
This course bridges that gap by combining Corporate Finance, Accounting, Capital Markets and Investor Education into one practical learning experience.
