Thanks Gordon, this is what I don't understand.

Let's suppose that today I own N shares of Winspear. After the split, the value of the New Winspear is a, the value of NewCo is b. The current value of Winspear= a+b. I own N(a+b).

Applying the principle of distributivity, after the split, I would expect to own Na + Nb. The value of "b" may be 1/8 of "a" but why would the number of shares change?

In my opinion, only N(a+b)=Na + Nb would clearly be fair.

Since the news release is not clear on the value of the variables, I would not assume that N(a+b)= Na+1/8Nb
