July 6 (Reuters) – GameStop Corp ( GME.N ) said on Wednesday its board had approved a four-for-one stock split, sending shares of the video game retailer up more than 5 percent in extended trade.

The split will take the form of a stock dividend that will be distributed after the markets close on July 21.
Shareholders will receive a dividend of three additional shares of the company’s Class A common stock for each share held.
The retailer is turning to e-commerce to revive business after the pandemic crushed brick-and-mortar businesses.
