Here's a quick example from Investopedia--which is a great resource if you're looking for a simple explanation of a complex financial term:

A 1-for-2 reverse split means you get half as many shares, but at twice the price. It's usually a bad sign if a company is forced to reverse split--firms do it to make their stock look more valuable when, in fact, nothing has changed. A company may also do a reverse split to avoid being delisted.
