No one has given me a good explanation, but as I understand it, the shares would start trading publicly on or before March 30th. Any current LU shareholder would have Avaya shares to trade.

One could hold on to them if you feel the LU assigned initial valuation is good, or dump them on the open market on the first day they trade at whatever the market thinks they are worth.

Check with your broker to confirm this.
