Kat:
In order for the stock to split, the shareholders must agree to increase the number of shares available. Since there are now approx. 700 million shares outstanding this implies that management may split the stock twice before the next shareholder's meeting (ie 700M*2*2=2.8B). This doesn't oblige them to split twice, or even once, but gives them that option.
As far as the buyback is concerned, this is a decision based on their opinion as to the stock value, so that they can offer incentives to their employees at a lower cost to management. It also indicates that they don't need a very large portion of their cash flow in order to grow the business, a point that I feel is significant.
