What is a 2-for-1 stock split and how does it affect my shares?

A 2-for-1 stock split means that for every one share of common stock you currently own, you will receive an additional share. Effectively, your total number of shares will double. The total value of your investment will remain the same immediately after the split, but the price per share will be halved.

What is a stock dividend in the context of a stock split?

In this case, the 2-for-1 stock split is being executed as a 100% stock dividend. This means the company is distributing additional shares of its own stock to existing shareholders as a dividend, rather than a cash payment. For every share held, shareholders receive one additional share.

Will this stock split change the overall value of my investment in Axon Enterprise?

No, the stock split itself does not change the total market value of your investment or the company's overall market capitalization. It simply increases the number of outstanding shares and proportionally decreases the price per share. The split is intended to make the stock more accessible and potentially more liquid.

When will the stock split take effect for shareholders?

Shareholders of record as of November 15, 2004, are eligible for the stock dividend. The new shares are expected to be delivered on or about November 29, 2004.
