Remgro base cost after unbundling BTI

[gerry2]

I placed this message under general instead of Remgro on 28 Oct 10:46 The unbundling of BAT and issue of REI a few years back was structured such that REM shares retained their original base cost provided they were not sold before October 2010. OST however did reduce their client base costs at the time of the unbundling (I presume to ensure everything balances before and after transaction and since they would not know whether a client will be selling before October 2010 or not). Will OST be making any change to a client's base cost in November or will clients have to advise you that this needs to be done? I wonder how many small REM shareholders are not aware of this?
