Q. can anyone explain the BGF seper...

11.12.09 | 20:03 PM Asked by BS7518

A. BGF was an enhanced income security,
which represented one share of common
stock (BGS) plus $7.15 principal amount
of senior subordinated debt. They first
separated the note from the stock, then
did a partial redemption of the bond.
You should have received the following
for each share of BGF
1 share common (BGS)
$4.28 cash per share for the partial
redemption (this includes dividend)
1 note with face value of $3.11

There really is no market for the bond
portion. You will probably end up
holding it until redemption.

Hope that helps.
