Mastering Stock Splits with Capboard: Simplifying the Complex

Stock splits, including reverse splits, are critical financial maneuvers that companies use to optimize their share structure. However, managing these transactions can be a daunting task, especially for companies with large or complex cap tables.


At Capboard, we provide an intuitive and efficient solution for handling stock splits seamlessly, minimizing errors, and ensuring clear communication across stakeholders.

What are Stock Splits and Reverse Splits?

  • Stock Split: A process where a company increases the number of shares outstanding while proportionally reducing the share price. This does not impact the company’s valuation but makes shares more affordable for investors. For example, in a 2-for-1 split, shareholders receive an additional share for each one they own, halving the price per share.

  • Reverse Stock Split: The opposite process, where the number of shares is reduced, and the price per share increases proportionally. This is often used to meet listing requirements or improve the perceived value of shares.

Why Choose Capboard for Stock Splits?

Stock splits may appear straightforward but involve several moving parts:

  • Adjusting the cap table to reflect changes in the number and price of shares.
  • Tracking conversions for historical accuracy.
  • Communicating changes clearly to stakeholders.
  • Avoiding errors that could lead to misunderstandings or legal challenges.

Capboard makes this process incredibly easy and precise.
