A little more on this.....
Friday I was assured RBC would contact me first thing, which they didn't. So I called again. Was told again they can only enter the tender instruction (retain or sell) but do not have the means to split the ratio. So as it stands, 100% of my shares are to retain and if I wish to reduce that amount I have 10 days after tomorrow to have them edit the tender instruction.
I then called Shorecrest again, they said RBC can enter a ratio and offered to call RBC again. Same thing I went through Friday, so I said don't bother.
What is clear to me now is that tomorrow's "Interim Retention Election Announcement" count is a guage only, and the percentage could look quite different by March 24, the "Retention Election Deadline". The % at that time will determine an automatic squeeze out or not if the 20% threshold isn't met.
