Corporate Action Fees:

Mandatory corporate action - A mandatory corporate action is an event initiated by the board of directors of the corporation that affects all shareholders. Participation of shareholders are mandatory for these corporate actions. Examples of mandatory corporate actions include dividends, stock splits, mergers, pre-refunding, return of capital, bonus issue, asset ID change, and spin-offs.

Voluntary corporate action - A voluntary corporate action is an action where the shareholders elect to participate in the action. A response is required for the corporation to process the action. An example of a voluntary corporate action is a tender offer. The shareholder may or may not participate in the tender offer. Other types of voluntary actions include rights issue, making buyback offers to the shareholders while delisting the company from the stock exchange.

Mandatory with choice corporate action - This corporate action is a mandatory corporate action where shareholders are given a chance to choose among several options. An example is cash or stock dividend option with one of the options as default. Shareholders may or may not submit their elections. In case a shareholder does not submit the election, the default option will be applied.

Corporate Action types:

Stock splits and reverse splits: A stock split, divides the value of each of the outstanding shares of a company. A two-for-one stock split is most common. An investor who holds one share will automatically own two shares, each worth exactly half the price of the original share. Reverse split it is exactly the opposite, amount of shares going down, but share price go up.

Dividends: A dividend is the distribution of some of a company's earnings to a class of its shareholders, as determined by the company's board of directors. Common shareholders of dividend-paying companies are typically eligible as long as they own the stock before the ex-dividend date.

Dates definitions:

Announcement date: Dividends are announced by company management on the announcement date, or declaration date, and must be approved by the shareholders before they can be paid.

Ex-dividend date: The date on which the dividend eligibility expires is called the ex-dividend date or simply the ex-date. For instance, if a stock has an ex-date of Monday, May 5, then shareholders who buy the stock on or after that day will NOT qualify to get the dividend as they are buying it on or after the dividend expiry date. Shareholders who own the stock one business day prior to the ex-date—that is on Friday, May 2, or earlier—will receive the dividend.

Record date: The record date is the cutoff date, established by the company to determine which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or distribution.

Payment date: The company issues the payment of the dividend on the payment date, which is when the money gets credited to investors' accounts.

Merger: A merger is an agreement that unites two existing companies into one new company.

Acquisition: An acquisition is when one company purchases most or all of another company's shares to gain control of that company.

Spinoff: When a company creates a new independent company by selling or distributing new shares of its existing business, this is called a spinoff.

Rights issue: A rights issue, where companies offer shares at a special price to existing shareholders, could be a great opportunity to increase your shareholding in a firm. Companies turn to rights issues when they’re looking to raise money, maybe for expansion or to pay down debt. New shares may be attractive to shareholders because they'll be cheaper than the current market price. However, shareholders aren’t obliged to buy them.

Open Offers: An open offer entitles shareholders the opportunity to purchase more ordinary shares in the company at a price normally discounted to the market share price, in proportion to their existing holding. Entitlements from an open offer aren’t tradable, so an open offer is only available to existing shareholders. An open offer gives only two options: Take up your entitlement or let it lapse. If you allow your entitlement to lapse, you won’t usually receive any lapsed proceeds.

Corporate Action Fee

Dividends – the Company will charge a processing fee of $5, but no more than 50% of the dividend value.

Examples:

Case 1: Client is holding shares (Short position) of a company that is paying dividends. The client is obliged to pay $12.00 as a dividend for his/her holdings.
