Ameritrade was one of the two brokers I had contacted and they gave the incorrect information that you posted. February 6th only pertains to voting for or against the plan and receiving a distribution on the Effective Date, February 29th.
Section 31.6(c) of the plan describes what stockholders that do not submit anything can do to receive a distribution up to one year after the Effective Date.
However if a Piers holder did submit a ballot and opted out of the releases, the one year term does not apply. That Piers holder would have already made his decision not to take a distribution.
