https://www.iclub.com/faq/Home/Category?id=6
Information required to enter any spinoff:
- Total shares owned of the parent company
- Provided by the software
- Shares received in daughter company, including any fractional shares
- From the broker statement
- Cash received
- From the broker statement
- Price per share for daughter company
- From any stock quote provider, like https://finance.yahoo.com
- Number of daughter companies
- From the company's Investor Relations
- Spinoff date
- From the company's Investor Relations
- Remaining Basis Fraction of Parent Company. (Examples: .94524, 94.524%)
- From the company's Investor Relations. If the information you receive on the spinoff only gives you the Child basis fraction, subtract this from 1 to get the Parent Remaining Basis Fraction.
- Fractional shares
- Most broker statements only give you the whole shares, selling off the fractional shares for cash. You may have to calculate the fractional shares. For example, if you owned 39 shares of Stock ABC, each holder of ABC received 1 share of XYZ for every 10 shares of ABC they held. The club gets 3.9 shares of XYZ, and the 0.9 shares are sold off at the going rate of XYZ on the date of the merger. If that's $20, the club gets $18 cash-in-lieu.
