Have Lithium Australia NL's shares ever split?

Lithium Australia NL's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 25 April 2016. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Lithium Australia NL shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Lithium Australia NL shares which in turn could have impacted Lithium Australia NL's share price.
