This excerpt taken from the HBI 8-K filed Sep 5, 2006. Trading of Sara Lee Common Stock Between the Record Date and Distribution Date Shortly before the record date for the spin off, Sara Lees common stock will begin to trade in two markets on the NYSE: a regular way market and an ex-distribution market. Between this time and the consummation of the spin off, shares of Sara Lee common stock that are sold on the regular way market will include an entitlement to receive shares of our common stock distributable in the spin off. Conversely, shares sold in the ex-distribution market will not include an entitlement to receive shares of our common stock distributable in the spin off, as the entitlement will remain with the original holder. Therefore, if you own shares of Sara Lee common stock on the record date and thereafter sell those shares in the regular way market on or prior to the distribution date, you also will be selling the shares of our common stock that would have been distributed to you in the spin off with respect to the shares of Sara Lee common stock you sell. If you own shares of Sara Lee common stock on the record date and thereafter sell those shares in the ex-distribution market on or prior to the distribution date, you will still receive the shares of our common stock in the spin off. On the first trading day following the distribution date, shares of Sara Lee common stock will begin trading without any entitlement to receive shares of our common stock. |
