perhaps i am being really thick..
split the stock..
so the shares seem better value to the investor...
therefore encouraging people to trade..
increased trade perhaps pushes up value of stock..
so might this mean that a lot more of the company tied up with Mr Ryan or MOL might be released onto the " open" market.
also, if staff have been given share options for a set number of shares, will the number of share they are allowed to buy also double, or is it a sneaky way of reducing expenditure for FR when a lot of staff option mature, as in fact only half the initial stock assigned for options is used.
the last point might seem a bit naive or even a bit of a conspiracy theory to some... but i am keen to know why FR would do a move like this??
any guesses?
