When a company changes their name what happens to the original stock certificate? I found a stock certificate for American Brands issued in 1970. I know that they have since changed their name to Fortune Brands and have had 3 2-1 splits. The certificate is for 100 shares of common stock. I think this certificate may be equal to 800 shares of Fortune Brands common stock. Does anyone know what happens in this situation? Thanks for any help.
