Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stock splits do not involve the issuance of new shares or the granting of share-based compensation. Instead, they involve the division of existing shares into smaller units, typically to increase market liquidity or make the stock more affordable for retail investors. The other three options (restricted stock, restricted stock units, and stock options) all involve some form of share-based compensation, whether it be direct issuance of shares, the right to receive shares in the future, or the right to purchase shares at a fixed price.
