Have Optical Cable Corporation's shares ever split?

Optical Cable Corporation's shares were split on a 1:8 basis on 30 July 2002. So if you had owned 8 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share.

However, indirectly, the new 700% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Optical Cable Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Optical Cable Corporation's share price.
