Mini-Tender Offer?

October 21st, 2009 at 06:02 pm

I have a stake in Proctor Gamble, and Scottrade is telling me that there is a Mini-Tender offer for it?

The details are scant. It's non-mandatory, cost for the transaction will be $25, offer expires on Nov 5, and here's a link to the SEC for basic information about it.

That's it.

I've never encountered this before. What does this mean? Where do I find out more information about it? Scottrade website provides no clue.

Sure seems like a lot of weird things are happening lately. Big Grin

    Already have. However, I don't see any details on how I could go about doing this. That is, if I wanted to and could have done it.

    But now that I think about it, I suppose this may be something that I should be calling up a Scottrade service rep and be doing over the phone...?

    Sounds like the answer is pretty easy, no matter what it is: DON'T.

    Heh, yeah, don't worry. I wasn't considering going through with it. I was just wondering how that would actually work, if I was planning to do such a thing.

    Thanks for the link, that does help. Very interesting to see that TRC is actually making a move on several firms, not just PG.

    I got it too. I ignored it. Had one a year or so ago for Bristol-Meyer-Squibb. Ignored it too.
