Please refer to the following case examples for your further understanding on how this stock split may affect you:

  • If you own 1 SRE share trading at $150 per share before the ex-date, you will own 2 shares valued at $75 per share after the split.
  • If you sell 1 SRE share trading at $150 per share before the ex-date, you will receive the pre-split price, which is $150. However, you will not receive any split shares.
  • If you buy 1 SRE shares trading at $150 per share before the ex-date, you will purchase the shares at the pre-split price of $150 per share. Following the split, you will receive an additional 1 share and the price of each share will be reduced to the post-split price.

Will the split affect short sellers?

Stock splits do not affect short sellers in a material way. While the volume of the short position held may be affected as a result of the split, the value of the short position held is not affected.
