Summary of the 8-K filed June 12, 2024. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
This 8-K filing from Amphenol Corporation (APH) primarily provides an update on recent corporate actions related to its stock and dividend.
The key event is the completion of a two-for-one stock split for its Class A Common Stock, which was distributed on June 11, 2024. This split effectively doubles the number of shares outstanding for Class A stockholders. In conjunction with the stock split, the company has adjusted its second quarter 2024 dividend.
While initially announced at $0.22a per share, the dividend will now be $0.11 per share, payable on July 10, 2024, to shareholders of record as of June 18, 2024. This per-share adjustment is standard practice following a stock split to maintain the total dividend payout value.

03—Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the impact of the two-for-one stock split on my shares?
Following the two-for-one stock split, if you held Class A Common Stock, the number of shares you own has doubled. For example, if you owned 100 shares, you now own 200 shares. The total market value of your holdings should remain the same immediately after the split, as the price per share is halved.
Why has the Q2 2024 dividend been reduced from $0.22 to $0.11 per share?
The dividend per share has been reduced to $0.11 because of the two-for-one stock split. This adjustment ensures that the total dividend payout for the quarter remains consistent with the company's original intentions, as there are now twice as many shares outstanding.
When will I receive the Q2 2024 dividend?
The dividend will be paid on July 10, 2024, to shareholders whose names appear on the Company's stock records as of the close of business on June 18, 2024.
