Commerce Split Corp. has announced:
In order to elect one of the two investment options, Shareholders must ensure that they make their election through their CDS Participant, in accordance with such participant’s election process and timing, so that the election is received by Computershare Investor Services Inc. no later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto Time) on February 26, 2010 (the “Notice Deadline”).
Shareholder should note that the requirements of any particular CDS Participant may vary, and that Shareholders may need to inform their CDS Participant of any intention to elect in advance of the February 26 deadline.
If an Election Notice is not received from a Shareholder by the Notice Deadline, the Shareholder will be deemed to have elected to transfer to into the New Commerce Split Fund. Shareholders are advised to contact their financial advisers if they need assistance in making an investment decision in respect of this election.
Assiduous Readers will remember I recommended against the Reorg but that it passed anyway. Bloodied but unbowed, I now recommend that holders of XCM.PR.A elect to receive units in the “Original Commerce Split Fund”, since I don’t really see any financial advantage on a portfolio perspective that would justify the recapitalization of the company with preferred share-holder money without the extant capital unitholders being wiped out.
