Starbucks Corporation disclosed the following on a recent stock split in its annual Form 10-K report for the year ended September 27, 2015.

Stock Split (excerpt from Note 1)-On April 9, 2015, we effected a 2-for-1 stock split of our \(\$ 0.001\) par value common stock for shareholders of record as of March 30, 2015. All share and per-share data in our consolidated financial statements and notes has been retroactively adjusted to reflect this stock split. We adjusted shareholders' equity to reflect the stock split by reclassifying an amount equal to the par value of the additional shares arising from the split from retained earnings to common stock during the second quarter of fiscal 2015, resulting in no net impact to shareholders' equity on our consolidated balance sheets.

In addition, the statement of equity for Starbucks on September 27, 2015, reported the following: the company increased common shares by 749.4 million shares, increased the common stock account by \(\$ 0.8\) million, and decreased retained earnings by \(\$ 0.8\) million related to this effected stock split.
