When share consolidation occurs, the net asset value per share increases by the same proportion as the share consolidation so that the share consolidation has no effect on the value of the investor’s total position. An investor’s cost per share also increases by the same proportion as share consolidation, although their total cost remains unchanged.
No fractional shares will be issued. Where the consolidation results in a fractional share, the number of shares after the consolidation shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number, in the case of a fractional interest that is less than 0.5, or rounded to the nearest whole number. Fractional interest matters which is 0.5 or more.
