[Dutch splitten, from Middle Dutch.]

splitter split'ter n.

Increase in a corporation's number of outstanding shares of stock without any change in the shareholders' Equity or the aggregate Market Value at the time of the split. In a split, also called a split up, the share price declines. If a stock at $100 par value splits 2-for-1, the number of authorized shares doubles (for example, from 10 million to 20 million) and the price per share drops by half, to $50. A holder of 50 shares before the split now has 100 shares at the lower price. If the same stock splits 4-for-1, the number of shares quadruples to 40 million and the share price falls to $25. Dividends per share also fall proportionately. Directors of a corporation will authorize a split to make ownership more affordable to a broader base of investors. Where stock splits require an increase in Authorized Shares and/or a change in Par Value of the stock, shareholders must approve an amendment of the corporate charter.
