A Corporate Action is any event initiated by a corporation which impacts its shareholders. For some such events, shareholders may or must respond to the Corporate Action or select from a list of possible actions.
Splits, dividends, mergers and acquisitions are all examples of Corporate Actions. For example, a company may decide to split its shares 2:1, leaving shareholders with twice as many shares as they had before.
