Treatment of Fractional Shares

Specifies how the system treats fractional shares for the corporate action. A fractional share is less than a single share of stock. Options include:

  • European. The system calculates the fractional share entitlement as follows: 1. Divides the position by the divisor, 2. Drops the decimals on the number that is calculated, 3. Multiplies the whole number by the multiplier.

  • Post Fractional Shares. The system posts the fractional share entitlement, calculating the amount to two decimal places.

  • Round Down. The system rounds the fractional share entitlement down to zero decimals. No fractional shares are created.

  • Round Up. The system rounds the fractional share entitlement up to the next whole number. No fractional shares are created.

  • Round to Nearest Whole Share. The system rounds the fractional shares to the nearest number of whole shares. If the calculated entitlement is greater than or equal to 0.50, the system rounds the fractional shares up to the next whole share. If the calculated entitlement is less than or equal to 0.49, the system drops the fractional shares. If you select this option, you see the Rounding Point field.

Mandatory/Voluntary Indicator

1734

Indicates whether the corporate action is mandatory or voluntary. Options include:

  • Mandatory. The corporate action is required by the issuer and applies to all entities.

  • Voluntary. The corporate action is at the decision of the holder of the securities, or the issuer requires the action but there are different accounting options available to the holder of the security. If you select Voluntary, you see the Proration Percent field. You must set up a voluntary corporate action with the number of shares, or percentage of shares, participating in the election.

Proration Percent

8081

Used for voluntary actions only when available share and/or cash are not sufficient to satisfy the offer by shareholders. The action cannot accommodate the entire order so the action is prorated at a given percent. This percent is used in the closing and opening of lots on the From and To side. The system uses this field in conjunction with the shares elected (for an entity to participate in the voluntary corporate action), to determine the amount of shares/percentage of shares that are applied.

The calculation follows: # of Shares Subscribed * Proration Percent = # Shares Participating in Voluntary CA
