It was first announced as a pro-rata dividend.

We'll own an equal PERCENTAGE of the spinoff company as we do of AMFE at the date of record (to be announced).



What is 'Pro-Rata'
Pro rata is the term used to describe a proportionate allocation. It is a method of assigning an amount to a fraction according to its share of the whole. While a pro rata calculation can be used to determine the appropriate portions of any given whole, it is most commonly used in business finance.
