Tesla, the electric vehicle giant has decided to split its stock so it can pay stocks dividends to its shareholders.

According to a filing by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the electric car maker would ask its shareholders for an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock.

The filing read, “On March 28, 2022, Tesla, Inc. (the “Company” or “Tesla”) announced its plan to request stockholder approval at the upcoming 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) for an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock through an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) in order to enable a stock split of the Company’s common stock in the form of a stock dividend. Tesla’s Board of Directors (“Board”) has approved the management proposal, but the stock dividend will be contingent on final Board approval.”
