Agere spinoff

There are only a few dollars here, but the solution eludes me...

My brokerage statement lists three transactions:

===================================================5/31/05 Agere Systems Inc CL B: reverse split @ 1 for 10 Quantity -105

5/31/05 Agere Systems Inc CL A reverse split @ 1 for 10 Quantity -4

5/31/05 Agere Systems Inc result of reverse split Quantity 10 =================================================== I started the month with 105 Sh CL B and 4 Sh CL A, I ended the month with

10 shares of Agere Systems Inc

Thus far, I have recorded both 1:10 reverse splits, leaving odd amounts (.4 sh and 10.5 sh) but how do I "convert" that to my ending balance of 10 shares of the new stock??

[NOTE: With such small amounts, I have no interest in basis calculation. Instead, I just want to record transactional data so that I end up with no A or B shares, just 10 shares of the new stock.]

Sell the fractional shares. My guess is that such transactions are in your statement or will be next month.

Ok, I sold the fractional shares, and then did a corporate name change and updated the ticker symbol for the remaining 10 shares. Thanks for the suggestion, it worked.

That's what happened with my account... I was credited with the revenue from sale of fractional shares. It took a couple of days for the transaction to show up....

The only thing he has to keep in mind when setting up the transaction(s) is how the funds are added to his account. In mine, it is used to buy shares in a MM/cash fund....

All my equities are in a brokerage account. The reverse split was recorded

5/31 and the proceeds from the fractional sale were posted and added to the MM fund on 6/1....
