hey Olie77,,,whether its a reverse split at a ratio of 1-1000 or stated as a dividend of .001 for each pre share you owned, it becomes the same...it's not a dividend at all...example: 20,000,000 shares pre split [x] .001 dividend = 20,000 shares post split.....now the same 20,000,000 shares pre split divided by 1000 =20,000 shares post split...its the same, just creative wording...hope this helps...best to all involved!!!
