The terms of the shares on issue are $3.00 on application, $2.00 on allotment and a future call of $2.00.

If the issue is oversubscribed the directors will make a pro-rata issue of shares and the excess application money will be applied to allotment and calls before any refunds will be given.

Costs associated with reissuing the forfeited shares totalled $3,000. The remaining money was refunded to the defaulting shareholders on 15 November.

On 1 January 2021, Morning Star Ltd issued via a private placement semi-annual coupon debentures (which pay interest every 6 months) with a nominal value of $500,000. The debenture term is four years and the coupon rate is 6% per year. The market requires a rate of return of 4% per year. The money came in and the debentures were allotted on the same date. The first interest payment will occur on 30 June 2021.

On the same day (1 January), Monring Star issued 300,000 options for class A shares with an exercise price of $6.00 each. It costs $1.00 per option. These options expires on 30 June 2021.

The directors decided on 31 March 2021 to make a bonus issue of the Ordinay A shares at initial issue price to the existing Ordinary A shareholders for every 20 shares of holding.

The company issued via a private placement 400,000 redeemable preference shares of $5.00 each on 30 June 2021. The shares offer a fixed dividend of 6 per cent per annum. The shares are later redeemed to non-voting Ordinary Class B shares at the choice of the shareholders on 30 June 2022.
