EDIT: dealerschool2006: The best answer might be that, at this time, there is no best answer.
What we do know (in your specific case) is that on or about Oct. 30th you should have your original amount of shares (1,750) PLUS that amount x 6 (remember it said for each share you will be given six additional shares). In other words you will have: 1,750 + (1,750 x 6) = 12,250.
(I suppose that area could get cloudy as to when you purchased those shares and/or were they settled or not on October 16th? I read from someone's post that RPH said on SPR that "settlement" didn't matter -- you could have even purchased them on the 16th -- but I did not hear that interview myself. Just passing what I heard along).
What the summation or total that you will have (dollar amount) will depend on the PPS that day. GLTY.
