Enter the number of decimal places to be used for the calculation.

  • New stock: 12.34
    Furthermore, you can also enter the same security as the security specified on the left at the top for security types that cannot normally be traded in fractions (e.g. shares).

In the example 1:0.25, the new stock would be exactly a quarter of the old stock - truncated to the specified decimal places.

Once you have entered all the data, select the "OK" button to save the entries, close the "Define corporate action" dialog box and return to the "Enter collective transactions" workspace. (Use the "Cancel" button to close the "Define corporate action" dialog box without saving the entries)

Then select the "Calculate transactions" button.
