Have Lithium Americas's stocks ever split?

Lithium Americas's stocks were split on a 1:5 basis on 7 November 2017 . So if you had owned 5 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Lithium Americas stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 400% higher stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Lithium Americas stocks, which in turn could have impacted Lithium Americas's stock price.
