A stock split changes the number of shares each holder owns by a fixed ratio without changing their ownership percentage. For example, a 2:1 split doubles each holder's shares.

  1. Open the entity client's detail page.
  2. Click the Contacts tab and scroll to the Capital section.
  3. Click the capital type to expand it.
  4. Click Stock Split.
  5. Enter the split ratio. The first number is the new shares per existing share — e.g. 2 for a 2-for-1 split, 3 for a 3-for-1, or 1/2 for a reverse 1-for-2 split that consolidates shares.
  6. Set the effective date.
  7. Click Execute Split.

Every shareholder's count is multiplied by the ratio. The platform also adjusts the nominal price per share so the total capital value is unchanged (unless you record otherwise).

Each holder's percentage ownership remains the same — a split is a re-denomination, not a transfer.

Tip: Reverse splits use fractional ratios (e.g. 0.5 to consolidate every two shares into one). If the resulting per-holder share count would be a fraction, the platform rounds and records the residual in the audit trail so you can settle it manually.
