- W2223402238 abstract "We provide evidence that the decision to split a firms’ stock is related to CEO compensation. Previous works document that, on average, stock splits lead to price increases and increased price volatility in the year following the split. We use the delta and vega of the CEO’s compensation package to measure CEO sensitivity to changes in the firm's stock price and changes in stock volatility, respectively. For a large sample of splits spanning 1992 to 2005, we find that higher delta and vega compensation is associated with a higher propensity to undertake a stock split. These findings are robust to other documented motivations for stocks splits, including the trading range, signaling, and tick size explanations. In addition, we find that vega is related to the magnitude of the stock split. Given that larger split factors are related to larger increases in volatility these findings confirm the importance of managerial incentives in determining stock split factors. Lastly, a large proportion of CEO option grants are made during the two days preceding and on the day of the stock split announcement. Overall, our findings suggest that managers can increase the risk profile (i.e. volatility) of the firm by cosmetically changing the firm (i.e. splitting the shares), and are induced to do so through the composition of their compensation packages." @default.
