Stock dividends - These are dividends paid in the form of additional stock of the issuing company to shareholders of record in proportion to their current holdings.

As there is no change in the amount of the stock that;s why stock dividend does not require any entry to be recorded rather it is shown as note.

Is venture capital defined as earnings in the EBITA formula?
Absolutely not. Venture capital is an investment in the enterprise and may be achieved through either sale of treasury stock or providing a loan (generally a sale of a bond). Both are recorded on the balance sheet or equity section, they are never a revenue. The I in EBITA is interest, so if the venture capital is actually a loan, then the interest used to pay that debt is not considered. If it is secured by a stock purchase, dividends (if any) are always after earnings anyway (unless actually determined to be a dividend on something like a preferred stock, which again is sometimes reclassed as interest).
