OK then as I understand it? If the market cap pre split was 100 million with O/S say 200 million that means the share price at 0.50$ wilth float 100 million. Post split it would be market cap of O/S 2 million and float 1 million with share price of $50.00.
Then it stands to reason if I were NSS to buy my shares back now rather than later. Because as Price of market cap goes up pre split, the price to buy a share post split becomes larger.
And it becomes hader to exchange a share after cuspid because
1) there are fewer shares to buy from to exchange a bad share to a good one.
2) and less likely to short if the price goes up
ie. Increase price to 1.00$ pre means post $100.00
If I was NSS I would be buying like heck to cover pre split than post split because the shares post split are worth less than post split
