Mary, my understanding is that if the deal goes, you will receive cash for your shares. There is no other choice. You can expect to see cash placed in your account in exchange for your shares when the deal closes. It should all be handled by your brokerage firm. There will be no commission charged...unless you sell before the deal closes.

Mary, Symantec is looking for purchase accounting on this acquisition as such they will be offering only cash. If you tender your shares the cash will be put in your account and handled by your brokerage firm. If you do not tender, but they receive more than 50%, within a few months they will use "force out" provisions of whatever state law they are operating under to buy you out anyway. Although these vary buy state, there is probably little if any upside or downside. I suggest you do yourself a favor and tender your shares.
