  4. Two Things You Need to Knowto Determine Value of New Stock • How Many Shares • Cost Basis

  5. Process • Remove value of new stock from original stock • Determine value of new stock itself

  6. Cost Basis Obtained from stock’s web site: • 83.63764% L • 16.3624% LBTYA This is given by the company but how is it derived?

  7. x = x = June 8, 2004 Trading Activity Hi Low Average L Series A 9.65 9.25 9.450 LBTYA Series A 38.00 35.95 36.975 Basis Allocation (Given)

  8. Original Purchases of L Total 120.0

  9. Step 1– Adjust Cost of Original Stock The cost basis of each L share you bought for $15.73 now becomes $13.16 ($15.73 x 83.63764%) Purchase Price * Cost Basis = New Price $15.73 * 83.63764 = New Price Don’t forget to convert cost basis from percent to decimal $15.73 * 0.8363764 = $13.16

  10. Step 2 – Adjust Other Original Values • Use same cost basis to determine other values just like we did for purchase Price. For example, Cash Invested * Cost Basis = New Cash Invested • The number of shares do not change!!

  11. Process Update Remove value of new stock from original stock • Determine values of new stock itself

  12. Step 3 – Determine the Number of Shares of the New Stock • This will be seen in your brokerage statement but can also be derived. • Remember… For each share of L you receive 0.05 shares of the new LBTYA Original Shares * Share Basis = Shares of New Stock 120 * 0.05 = 6

  13. Here’s What we know Total # of Shares 6.0

  14. Step 4 – Use Cost Basis to Complete Table • Use 16.3624% LBTYA as the factor to determine values • ***Just like Step 2 *** • Another way would also be to subtract the difference

  15. Why Not Complete the Rest? • Number of Shares • Taking 16.3624% of 120 shares = 19.6 shares • We have already said we have 6 shares of new stock • Share Value - You need the cost basis to calculate the share price but keep in mind it’s only for 0.05 shares… See next slide

  16. Step 5 – Determine Cost of Shares • For 18 Jul 01, the basis in your 0.05 share of Lib is $2.57 ($15.73 x 16.3624%). • So the value in one whole share of Lib Intl becomes $51.40 ($2.57 / 0.05 share). $2.57 X 0.05 sh 1 sh =

  17. Purchase Prices Added

  18. Step 6 – Determine New Shares x = x = x = 120.0 6.0

  19. Completed LBTYA Values $255.86 6.0

  20. Process Update Remove value of new stock from original stock Determine values of new stock itself Finished
