Have ImpediMed 's shares ever split?

ImpediMed 's shares were split on a 102:100 basis on 31 May 2009. So if you had owned 100 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 102 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your ImpediMed shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 2% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for ImpediMed shares which in turn could have impacted ImpediMed 's share price.
