Well it's up to you, it's not unusual to provide proof of ownership to get something for free! That's normal. What may be amusing, is the amount of people who don't want it, it's clever, it separates the investors from the short sellers, now that amusing! Lol
Amusing is you think a new CEO with a new company is going to create a share class (under your scenario that I do not believe is correct) convertible to over 37 billion common shares. That's crazy value, but amusing.
OH it is clever ALL RIGHT . This is how this goes ,many people will buy in prior to May 20th thinking it is a good deal. The PPS will rise but the buying continues due to the cash value factor it doesn't matter what PPS you buy it at. NOW when the PPS is high enough the smart shareholders will get the f out .leaving all others holding the bag awaiting the Monstrous R/S THAT WILL COME SHORTLY AFTERWARD .
