IMO think the 500/1 announcement was as much about testing the waters of ownership grab by whomever our New "In-Laws" are going to be.
As it was a cover for the selling off the rest of the treasury shares. I would imagine before the split will be told the rest of the shares (or the great majority) are out there. Which for me is no issue.
