The forward stock split will be effective on or about January 7, 2005. (Clarification) Shareholders will get one share of common stock for each one hundred shares of common stock they own on that date. The proposed stock split is subject to regulatory approval. The company apologizes for any confusion that the announcement may have caused."This forward stock split is intended to lay the groundwork for the anticipated growth of the Company,"said IBAC Corporation President&CEO Edward W Hayter."It is also part of our ongoing efforts to improve trading liquidity, broaden ownership and enhance shareholder value."The company has received hundreds of calls regarding several issues first and for most is the question of a reverse split the company has no plans of a reverse split, secondly the company has been asked about any involvement of a Mr. Chris Astrom and/or Mr. Richard Astrom neither men have any involvement in management or ownership of this company furthermore if anyone persists in implying this the company will pursue any and all legal remedies.
The company has also been asked are we going to do anything to get the company noticed to the investment community. The company elected to reward current shareholders with a bonus and also bring attention to the company with the same bonus for potential new investors, as the company refuses to employ any stock promoters etc. as this is not in the company's or shareholders best interest.

I think for this low, what the heck!!
They are calling this a FORWARD SPLIT, but they are describing a REVERSE SPLIT. At a price of .0003, a forward split makes no sense. That would move the price to .000003.
Can something help me understand what they are planning to do? Thanks for any help.
They may intend on a buyback or try to get more shares in the open market without massive dilution. I don't know this as I don't know ther AS or OS, but anything is possible. They also may want to increase their average daily volume to attract more investors.
I will do some DD and let you all know if I find anything out.
I also emailed ICAN to see if they will explain how the split will work. Maybe they are issuing an EXTRA share for each 100 that we own (?).
I will post their reply when it comes.
Thanks again.
the PROPER wording for a split would be 101 for 100 shares, if it were a TRUE fwd split...
a 1 for 100 dividend could also be another correct way to accomplish this...

I agree... calling it a dividend would be much clearer.

"You will receive one share for every 100 you own so in this case you will end up with 101 shares.

Now I understand. I would call this a "stock dividend" rather than a "forward split", but in technical terms, they may be right. I have to give them credit for their quick reply.
Now I have to determine if the company is a good buy, with or without the dividend. All opinions will be appreciated. If we share information, we may all get rich.
