Charles Schwab Declares 3-for-2 Stock Split, Eighth in 9 Years

San Francisco, May 3 (Bloomberg) -- Charles Schwab Corp., the biggest online
broker, will split its shares 3-for-2 this month, the company's third split in two years
and eighth in nine years.

San Francisco-based Schwab said stockholders of record May 12 will receive a 50
percent stock dividend May 30. The company said it will also adjust the 66 million
shares it plans to pay for U.S. Trust Corp. to reflect the stock split.

Schwab shares are up 11 percent this year and are down 21 percent in the past 12
months on investor concern about increased competition from full-service
brokerages. Still, $10,000 of stock bought at the company's September 1987 initial
public offering would now be worth $800,000.

A year ago, Schwab increased its authorized shares outstanding fourfold to 2 billion.

Schwab stock fell 2 5/16, or 5.2 percent, to 42 1/8 in New York trading. The
company announced its stock split at its annual meeting today in San Francisco.
