DUBLIN - Invesco Markets plc announced Friday that it will hold an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on October 23, 2025, to seek shareholder approval for a proposed 100-for-1 stock split of the accumulating share class of its S&P 500 UCITS ETF.
If approved, the stock split would take effect around December 15, 2025. Under the proposal, shareholders would receive 99 additional shares for each share currently held, while the net asset value per share would decrease to one-hundredth of its previous value.
The company stated that the total value of shareholders’ holdings would remain unchanged as the reduction in share price would be proportionally offset by the increase in share quantity.
According to the announcement, the purpose of the stock split is to make the ETF more accessible to prospective investors by reducing the share price, potentially facilitating more precise investment adjustments for both new and existing investors.
"The reduced net asset value per share of the Share Class will facilitate accessibility for prospective investors, thereby facilitating further investment in the Fund and increasing Fund assets to the benefit of all investors," the company stated in its press release.
The fund’s identifiers, including its ISIN (IE00B3YCGJ38), will remain unchanged following the split. Invesco confirmed that shareholders will not bear any additional legal or administrative costs as a result of the stock split.
Shareholders who do not wish to remain invested following the implementation of the stock split will have the opportunity to redeem their shares on any dealing day prior to the implementation date.
The results of the EGM will be announced through the regulatory news service on the Euronext Dublin website following the meeting.
