**While the number of AMZN shares you hold will be multiplied by 20 post-split, the price per contract of your AMZN shares will be divided by 20.
Please refer to the following case examples for your further understanding on how this stock split may affect you:
- If you own 1 AMZN share trading at $2400 per share before the ex-date, you will own 20 shares valued at $120 per share after the split.
- If you sell 1 AMZN share trading at $2400 per share before the ex-date, you will receive the pre-split price, which is $2400. However, you will not receive any split shares.
- If you buy 1 AMZN share trading at $2400 before the ex-date, you will purchase the shares at the pre-split price at $2400. Following the split, you will receive an additional 19 shares and the price of each share will be reduced to the post-split price.
Will the split affect short sellers?
Stock splits do not affect short sellers in a material way. While the volume of the short position held may be affected as a result of the split, the value of the short position held is not affected.
