Q: Hello 5i, my question is related to your answer to Anthony about the TRI reverse split. I currently hold 190 shares, so if I understand correctly I will get a payout of $887.30 and end up with 182.89 shares instead of 190 once the reverse split completed, is that correct? Do you know the date of the reverse split? Thank you
