Don't forget that the denominator (total number of outstanding shares) will be increased by this as well. So even if the market cap reacted exactly one to one like you're proposing the per share price wouldn't stay constant necessarily.

That's exactly the point... the total number of outstanding shares increases, as does the capital value. These changes should cancel out.
