My understanding is that for every six shares of LU, shareholders will receive one of Agere. Hope this helps.

Well, we could figure out the payout ratio if we knew two things: 1) How many shares of Agere total 2) How many share of Agere in the IPO (1) - (2) --------- shares of lucent would get us there. OK, let me try: Data from : hoovershbn.hoovers.com IPO to be comprised of 370.3 million Class A common shares, priced in the $15-to-$20 range. Lucent is expected to retain ownership of all of Agere's Class B stock outstanding, providing the parent with 72.3% of all stock outstanding. -so- 370.3 million = 27.3% 1.3564 billion shares total – 370.3 million Agere shares = 986.11 million shares 986.11 million / 3.39 billion =.29 shares 1/.29 =.344 shares -so- 1 share of Agere for, say 4 shares of Lucent? Adam, Beuler, anyone? Alex.
