    Reverse stock split occurs when the stock price of a company has fallen so much that institutions typically avoid owning them.  For example Citigroup stock fell from $60 to around $1 and rebounded to $4.  Many institutions shun buying these stocks.  To combat this, Citigroup or C did a 1 for 10 reverse stock split, meaning for every 10 shares of C, you now own 1 share.  So, owning 10 shares at $4 is the same as owning 1 @ $40.

    reductions in the number of shares and reduces the share split proportionitly..
