The approval follows a recommendation from the company’s board and was communicated to investors via email, the report said, News.Az reports, citing Reuters.

After the split, the stock’s fair market value was adjusted to $105.32 per share from $526.59.

The split is expected to be processed during the week of May 18 and completed by May 22, according to the report.
