The date you acquired the GTHI stock dividends would be the same as the date you acquired your shares of GTGP (according to this article.)

Here’s another example. Using the same facts as above, let’s assume that instead of declaring a stock dividend, the company spun off a subsidiary. Jack receives an additional 30 shares of the new company in January 2008. Even though these are brand-new shares in a brand-new company, they will have the same holding period as the original shares that were purchased back in April 2006.

ALL IMHO, PLEASE CONSULT A TAX PROFESSIONAL TO DETERMINE THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR GTHI STOCK DIVIDENDS
