Many thanks Geoff, the information that you provided will be quite helpful.

I'm waiting a bit on tweaking the transaction until I find out the 
capitol gain status, although I am fairly sure that there is no capitol 
gain other than the .72 fractional share amount. I'd just like to see 
that in writing before committing the transaction.
