    From the note I do not understand how the scrip dividend becomes a source of new finance since it just an offer in the form of cash or new shares … If it’s a new share , do the share holder still need to pay cash for the share issue ?

    Normally one expects dividends to be in cash.

    A scrip dividend is where the shareholders get given new shares instead of cash.

    Therefore the company is paying out less cash and is retaining it – so they have more cash available to invest.
