Multiple select question.

To lower the par value per share

To eliminate small shareholders is also correct

Answer 2

The reasons for reverse stock splits include:

- **To comply with listing requirements:** Companies may conduct a reverse stock split to increase their share price to meet the minimum price requirements set by stock exchanges.

- **To raise stock prices to respectable levels:** A reverse stock split consolidates shares and can increase the share price, making it appear more favorable or appealing to investors.

The other options—lowering the par value per share and eliminating small shareholders—are not typical reasons for a reverse stock split.
