Tim Hortons spinoff from Wendy's mec6@yahoo.com 01-23-2007

I would guess that this has been discussed but in my search of the
archives, I could not find any information. I would totally understand
if you just pointed me to the posts that discussed this before if that
is what happens.

My question is this - When I did the spinoff, it placed Tim Hortons in
the same account as Wendy's. I knew this was not right when I did it
but I did not know what to do. Wendy's DRIP is administered by American
Stock Transfer (or something similar) and Tim Hortons is administered
by Computershare.

In the Invester Center window, it still only shows Wendy's (the total
is correct) and the Account Summary does show both securities as well
as all transactions.

My question, is there some way I can break these into two separate
accounts so I can see both separately as they should be?

Thanks in advance for you help.

Mark

Mark:

By default, a "Corporate Securities Spin-off" places all the new shares
in the account where the former parent company stock is lodged. If for
some reason you want to move the spun-off shares to another account a
"Shares Transferred Between Accounts" transaction should do the trick.

I don't understand the statement "In the Invester Center window, it
still only shows Wendy's..." as the Investor Center *should* show all
securities, unless the new stock is unchecked under Options > Customize
Current View... > Securities to Include.

Tom,

Thank you for your answer.

The corporate spinoff placed the new shares for THI in the same account
as WEN. I tried to just show the shares but that did not work. So I
tried "Shares Transfered between Accounts" and that worked like a
charm.

Again, thank you for your answer.
