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
