04/25/2019 – Goldcorp Inc. (GG)

  by Robert Brauer

Attention, those of you who own Goldcorp Inc. (GG):  GG has merged with Newmont Mining Corp. to form Newmont Goldcorp Corp. (NEM). The merger includes a trade of 0.328 shares of NEM for every 1 share of GG previously owned. Because of this agreement, you should sell your new shares of NEM on Trade Day, and Transmogrify if necessary. If you are able to sell your shares above your average cost, there is no need to Transmogrify.

We’re here to help! Here is a link to the Transmogrification document that will tell you step-by-step what to do.

Please Note: When calculating the Price of Old Stock for the transmogrification, you will take the proceeds you received for selling the new shares of NEM, and divide that figure by the number of shares of GG that you owned prior to the merger. This should give you a price of old stock that is roughly between $8 and $14 in value.

Lattco PRO clientsPlease use this link to access the transmogrification document for your accounts. Also, please give us a call after you have purchased shares for your new position and before you sell your options; we will need to make some adjustments to your account to properly reflect the transmogrification.
