include: (1) returning the amount already paid by the subscriber (possibly after deducting some
expenses), (2) treating the amount paid as forfeited and therefore transferring it to the Contributed
Surplus account, or (3) issuing fewer shares to the subscriber so that the number of shares issued is
equivalenttowhatthesubscriptionpaymentsalreadyreceivedwouldhavepaidforfully.Notethatin
some jurisdictions, the limit to the liability of the subscriber in case of corporate failure is the

(b)
Large stock dividends and splits serve the same function with regard to the
securities markets. Both techniques allow the Board of Directors to increase the
quantity of shares outstanding and channel share prices into the popular trading
range.

ASPE & IFRS do not provide specific guidance on this topic. However, legal
requirements may dictate the accounting treatment of large stock dividends and
requirethejournalentrydisplayedinpart2above.Insuchacaseitisnecessaryto
capitalize the stated value with a stock dividend because the number of shares is
increased and the stated value per share remains the same. Accounting for stock
dividendsinthismannerissometimesreferredtoascapitalizationofearnings.In
the absence of such a legal requirement for accounting purposes the 20%25% rule
reasonably views large stock dividends as substantive stock splits and no journal
entryismade.
