Stock Dividend in Form: Section 25-2 explains that the number of additional shares issued as stock dividend may impact the the market price. So the company will make a stock Split.
When the company dividends does not pass 20 or 25 percent of the number of previously outstanding shares would call for treatment as stock dividend.
