@David Aurora is due to reverse stock split 12-1 on May 11th, my question is how T212 will sort it? Will our shares gonna be replaced to smaller amount or will we be forced to sell them with the price from that day?

Lower share quantity, higher price, therefore same (give or take minimal rounding) value. T212 custodian should resolve on the day , remove your current line of stock and replace with 12:1 new line of stock. Should happen automatically as itās a mandatory (rather than optional) event.
Shares fell below the $1 mark and the NYSE threatened delisting.
Therefore theyāre just swallowing 12 old and crediting 1 new. Price will adjust accordingly.
āReverse stock spiltā is an odd Americanism for āconsolidationā - which (to my mind) makes way more sense!

Will have same issue with Kopin shares but I think they still didnāt announced date of reverse stock split thatās why Iām curious how itās gonna look with Aurora that I wouldnāt have to worry about other stocks xD
You donāt have to worry.
Brokers are obliged to reconcile daily.
Theyāll identify the holding change and apply it to your account as soon as they can.
If they donāt that would constitute a potential ābreachā under FCA rules.
So know the day itās supposed to be coming and watch out for it
If T212 donāt apply it quicklyā¦pick them up on it here or by email
Thanks @Finki for all helpful informations, appreciate it
Lets hope thereās no repeat of the Chesapeake Energy (CHK) fiasco that happened yesterday and was caused by a 1:200 āreverse stock splitā. The T212 platform displayed the new, higher share price but failed to adjust the number of shares held. This resulted in an apparent jump of 10,000% in share price and pandemonium ensued.
Usually caused by the split happening and the old and new stock maintain in the same ISIN and Ticker identifiers.
I assume this was the case for Chesapeake? Iāll check out the Aurora details ā¦
Yep.
CHK maintained its ISIN and Ticker (CHK) post reverse split.
Therefore the asset remains the āsameā but you have less of them and the price jumps.
Unless your provider processes this event and reflects the ānewā amount of shares you have,whoops!
It looks like ACB will be the same.
Itās not scheduled until May 11th so T212 have time to know itās coming and prepare for it.
For what isās worth Iāve been caught out by events like this when I was managing back office teams and ācorporate actionsā spring out of nowhere.
One solution was to prevent trading on stocks that jump 10,000%
No stock jumps 10,000% without the need to be looked at.
In all cases it was due to a split/consolidation affecting the stock price.
We therefore processed the corporate action and allowed trading again. Simples.
I guess this puts T212 putting a magnifying glass to their corporate action department and corporate action data vendor?
Fun times
I think you got the other way roundā¦ |tās 1-12.
Today is the day of ACB stock split, will trading of this stock be suspended until you gona change amounts of shares in our accounts? Or weāll be able to invest since market opens in US?

Can i ask what happens to shares not in multiples of 12? I know its not a lot of money
Thanks pal. Didnt see that
I had 70 aurora cannabis before the split. But after the split I only had 5 shares? Shouldnāt it be 6?
You had 70, split on 12. 70/12=5.8333, meaning you got 5 stock and remaining 10 got liquidated at last price. Meaning 10 remaining got sold and added to your free fund pool.
To get 6 you should have 72 of them
Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately, I just canāt understand how much of the rest was sold. In the history I do not see any sales entries. Im not sure if the 10 remaining was added in my free pool. Is there a way to check it?
@Team212 @David @Martin can you do sth with ACB historical price shown on chart? I think your system just multiplied historical price by 12 and now it shows inaccurate data.
@Ashige Sorry, could you elaborate on that? Everything seems fine with the historical data.
