My understanding is that Mall shareholders will receive 80% of UBID 6 months after the IPO date in a tax free distribution. However, this translates into an immediate rise in Mall shares for most of the traders on this thread per a formula which roughly values MALL share price at 73% of the predicted UBID IPO. Therefore the pre-IPO run-up is/was a no-brainer. However once the UBID IPO actually comes out and UBID trades in the secondary market, the mall price will rapidly adjust either UP or DOWN to about 73% of UBID's share price IMO. Therefore the risk increases ALOT after the IPO. Good luck, Jeff
