I think it's just that all the smart people live on islands. Yes, but wasn't it John Donne who wrote, "No man is an island. . ." :) Pat (who appreciates the input from both sides of the debate)

Not so fast, there, Bob. I don't live on an island, am not CDN, but am enjoying UNPH. Just wish I could buy more.

Found this over on the Yahoo thread: TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE ("TSE-T") JDS UNIPHASE CANADA LTD ("JDU-T") [formerly JDS FITEL INC. ("JDS-T") ] - Bulletin 99-0839; JDS Changes in Stock List Subject to completion of a plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") involving JDS Fitel Inc. (Symbol: JDS) ("JDS Fitel") and Uniphase Corporation ("Uniphase") to form a company called "JDS Uniphase Corporation" ("JDS Uniphase") and a Canadian subsidiary of JDS Uniphase to be called "JDS Uniphase Canada Ltd." ("Exchangeco"), which Arrangement is expected to become effective on Tuesday, July 6, 1999, the exchangeable non-voting shares ("Exchangeable Shares") of Exchangeco will be listed at the opening on Tuesday, July 6, 1999 in substitution for the presently listed common shares of JDS Fitel under the trading information noted below and the JDS Fitel common shares will be halted and delisted at the close of trading on that date. Stock Symbol: JDU; CUSIP: 46612F 20 8 Pursuant to the Arrangement, common shares of JDS Fitel will become Exchangeable Shares of Exchangeco on the basis of 0.50855 of an Exchangeco share for each JDS Fitel share held, unless a shareholder of JDS Fitel properly elected on or before June 30, 1999 to receive 0.50855 of a JDS Uniphase common share. No fractional Exchangeable Shares will be delivered pursuant to the Arrangement. In lieu thereof, shareholders will receive a cash payment equal to such JDS Fitel shareholder's pro rata portion of the net proceeds received by the Depository upon the sale of whole shares representing an accumulation of all fractional interests in Exchangeable Shares to which such shareholders would have been entitled. In order to receive the Exchangeco Exchangeable Shares to which they are entitled, holders must deposit their share certificates along with a duly completed Letter of Transmittal at the principal office of CIBC Mellon Trust Company in Toronto. The following is a summary of some of the provisions attaching to the Exchangeable Shares. Reference should be made to the Management Information Circular dated May 25, 1999 for a more complete description. Dividends: If and when declared by the board of directors of JDS Uniphase and subject to certain restrictions as described in the Management Information Circular, dividends will be payable in the Canadian dollar equivalent to dividends paid from time to time on common shares of JDS Uniphase.
