They're just proposing to increase the number of authorized shares. IMO, it has nothing to do with an expectation of a modification of their 2 for 1 split announcement. Even if the propose increase in the number of authorized shares wasn't approved by shareholders (a remote possibility IMO), there would still be sufficient issued and outstanding shares to affect the announced stock split. Best regards, Mark A. Peterson

That would just increase the number of shares "authorized". That way, they can complete the 2:1 in May, and still be able to do another 2:1 sometime later without having to get shareholder approval.
