The ZTS-PFE papers from my broker to implement the share exchange arrived today. I will probably request a swap of my entire PFE holding, knowing that the exchange offer will likely be oversubscribed and I will thus get only a portion of my PFE shares exchanged.

Is anyone else here participating in this transaction?

ZTS/PFE—SeekingAlpha author doesn’t understand the tax ramifications of IPO’s and subsequent distributions of shares in a subsidiary:

Just because you write an article online doesn't mean you're not a moron.

ZTS/PFE swap update: The spread between the ZTS (31.18) and PFE (29.08) share prices has narrowed to the point that the exchange ratio—if calculated based on today’s closing numbers—would be constrained by the contractual upper bound of approximately 1.0.

Thus, if there is any further narrowing of the spread between the ZTS and PFE share prices, participants in the swap will not receive the full 7% discount on their ZTS shares.

The actual exchange ratio, which depends on the volume-weighted prices during the period from Jun 17-19, will be known after the market close on Jun 19.
