How do I create a share split?

To enter in a new share split, go to Edit | Share Register, select the Events tab and click New | Share split. This will bring up the New Share Split window, with the identifier and business name confirmed at the top of the screen. The new share split screen should read as follows – Every number of shares that are shares of type, held on a particular date will be split into new shares as itemised below (on that date). At the bottom of the screen insert the number of shares created by the share split. Also complete the date of resolution to split the shares and the amount of any cash consideration per original share if applicable. For Original share type discontinued after split, tick the box if true. Finally there is an option to log share split in client’s history and therefore activate a completed Form 122. When finished inputting information, click Insert to save the changes or Cancel to close without saving.
