Found this posted on the aurc board regarding a divy that those shareholders will be recieving. Looks very interesting regarding the short sellers as well as the people responsible for any naked shares short. Might be some big time @ss covering over there!
( All reguarding AURC not ACMG)
1. If you were not a shareholder as of COB on Feb. 15th, 2007, you are not entitled to the divy.
2. If you hold shares in cert form, at your house, in a safe deposit box, etc. you will show up on the company nobo list. YOU FOLKS ARE THE ONLY TRUE TRACEABLE SHARHOLDERS OF RECORD. You shares will be mailed to you at the address on file with the company.
3. If you hold shares in your brokerage account and they are not restricted, then your broker will receive your shares and apply them to your account. (Initially, when you mail in your certs to a brokerage house, they take them out of you name and put them into street name, most likely 'Cede'. Once this is done, the company no longer has a record of you as a shareholder. When they request a nobo list, your susequent holdings will now be listed under 'Cede').
The TA will print up all the certs. Those not going to brokerages will be mailed off. Those going to brokerages will first make a pit stop at the DTC where they will be reconciled, and then sent on their merry way.
4. Any and all shorts, whether naked or otherwise, are responsible for the divy.
"If you are short as of the ex-dividend date, you are liable to pay the dividend to the person whose shares you have borrowed to make your short sale."
