First a few corrections, a reverse split does nothing, percentages and amount you have remains the same, In order for the "institutional investors" you need to have a secondary offering of additional shares, this will raise capital for TEVE yet dilute your shares tremendously, especially since they have little capital or influx of capital. Second The dividend will only be paid when profits are made, if you think they'll pay a dividend in shares, again that keeps the percentages the same as far as ownership yet also includes a great deal of dilution.
