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

  • 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.

Baby Bond Rate
