Frequently Asked Questions

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to formally report Axon Enterprise, Inc.'s announcement of a 2-for-1 stock split to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The stock split is being executed as a 100% stock dividend. This means that for every share of common stock an investor owns as of the record date (April 15, 2004), they will receive one additional share. Effectively, this doubles the number of shares outstanding for each shareholder, making it a 2-for-1 split.

No, the stock split itself does not change the total market value of your investment or the overall market capitalization of the company. While you will own twice as many shares, the price per share will be halved proportionally. The fundamental value of your holdings remains the same immediately after the split.

The additional shares from the stock dividend are expected to be delivered on or about April 29, 2004, to shareholders who were recorded as owning shares on April 15, 2004.
