True
unissued shares
No, a dividend increase does not directly increase the number of shares outstanding. Dividends are cash payments made to shareholders from a company's profits, and increasing dividends means that the company is distributing more cash per share. However, if a company opts for a stock dividend instead, which involves issuing additional shares to shareholders, then the number of shares outstanding would increase.
The theoretical ex-rights price (TERP) is calculated by taking the total value of the existing shares and the new shares being issued, then dividing by the total number of shares after the rights issue. The formula is: [ \text{TERP} = \frac{(N \times P) + (M \times S)}{N + M} ] where ( N ) is the number of existing shares, ( P ) is the price per existing share, ( M ) is the number of new shares, and ( S ) is the subscription price for the new shares. This provides the expected share price once the rights issue is completed.
Authorized shares
authorized shares are the maximum number of shares of stock that a corporation can issue.
Authorized capital is the maximum amount a company is allowed to collect from public by issuing shares.

Assuming a company goes public with 100 shares, it has to hold atleast 51 shares to maintain stronghold on the company's management i.e., to own the company. The remaining 49 shares are offered to the public. Out of these a % is allotted to institutional investors (Other companies), a % is allotted to Mutual funds and another % is allotted to foreign investors and High Networth Investors. The remaining usually 10-15% is allotted to the general public.
