Well, at today’s Amazon Annual Meeting the shareholders FORMALLY voted in favor of the 20-to-1 stock split. That was expected. We had cast our vote — as ‘YES’ (by proxy) a few weeks ago.
So, the VOTE is out of the way.
Now it is GO-GO-GO & it is a very fast & compressed schedule.
AMZN stocks will split, after trading, on Friday, June 3, 2022. That is the GOLDEN DAY. You can continue to buy pre-split AMZN shares until 4pm (Eastern) that Friday. That is a given.
The split shares will appear in accounts as of Saturday, June 4, 2022. Same as option expirations. They expire on Friday & you see the expirations on the Saturday.
The split shares will start TRADING Monday, June 6, 2022 at 9:30am (Eastern).
So, that is it.
AMZN went up, a bit, today. Will most likely go up on Thursday & Friday too.
