In Eli Lilly and Company's case, that would currently equate to about $3.79 per share.

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Eli Lilly and Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Eli Lilly and Company shares which in turn could have impacted Eli Lilly and Company's share price.
