EML Payments's shares were split on a 1:5 basis on 1 July 2011. So if you had owned 5 shares the day before the split, the next day you would own 1 share.

However, indirectly, the new 400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for EML Payments shares which in turn could have impacted EML Payments's share price.
