1. yes we can get a shareholder list from Transfer Online, to the share. Transfer Online handles the split directly with and to you... no brokerages no DTC, just you and Transfer Online in the loop.
2. If you are afraid of confusion, then wait until after the split... its only a couple of days off, but in my opinion it is important to do it.
3. We (CVIA) can send out letters or contact the shareholders directly a luxery we dont have with the street name shareholders. Once this storm has passed and if anyone feels the need to go back to street, then we are back to status quo.
4. The fees are varied, I think the most expensive I have ever seen was like $30 and the cheapest was like $5. But IMO if hypothetically you have xxxx or more shares, this is a nominal consideration.
Those that have their stock in IRA's and things that you get penalized... leave it alone. You get penalized, it is not our intention to cause a hardship.
Those that choose not to go the cert route, thats your choice, it wont change anything at all, we will certainly do our best to communicate with you all... I guess most of you know that. But with the past problems we have had with slow brokerages and the DTC... we cannot promise or gurantee anything... as witnessed in past experiences.
Far be it for me to try and tell you what to do with your investment, but these are strange times, a rarity? a fluke? That is the thing I cannot answer.
