You have to own the stock before a certain date?

Regardless of when you bought the shares --- they will split. So if you owned them the day before the split - let's say you owned 100 on May 1st -- and May 2nd was the split date - when you check your account on May 2nd you will have more shares at less price per share.... They'll take care of everything for you....
